Now let's do about four more of these deals and see what shakes out.

He is pretty much Kirk Hinrich/Delly, good role player to have, should fit quite well

I remember a lot of guys in the draft thread wanted him before the draft. I don't know much about him to be honest.

Here's what Sam Vincenie at CBSSports thinks about Baker...

“In the NBA, I kind of see him a little bit more as a defensive-minded (point guard) who can really shoot the ball, who can move the ball well and maybe play next to a more dominant, ball-handling (shooting guard). He’s a great, long, rangy defender.”

I've watched Baker for four years. Dude is some kind of a competitor. Hope he can make the team. Too bad Cleanthony never could get his career going.

Rooting for him, seems like the worker type from the posts here.

I posted in the draft thread that he is older than Bradley Beal, though. :lol:

Love this pickup. Kid has alot of bounce in his step, decent quickness around the arc, a solid shot, solid finisher competes on D and his handle is solid, and will improve in NY. He's likely Galloways direct replacement. Really nice pickup

Jay williams said he was the best defender in college tonight.

Cheers to our future 1.3 PPG star! He and Cleanthony will look cute together on the bench this season aww Phil!

Baker shut down Wade Baldwin in the tournament and Alonzo Trier as well. I don't know if he'll make the team, but he seems like the kind of guy who at some point will be on an NBA roster. If he sticks with it, no reason why he can't carve out a career.
