Averaging just under 25 Points per game this past season tells you all you need to know about what one of his main strengths were and that’s the way that he can score the ball. He made the decision to join his teammate at Wake Tech CC next year and will look to transition his scoring ability to the next level.

Baker is an impact guard that has been on our radar for many years now with East Carteret as a volume scorer and shooter. His 74 threes led his entire 2A East classification, and a 35% clip with how many tough, tough shots he takes is impressive. His ability to knock a shot down off the dribble is above many others, especially with his quickness and agility to worm through defenders. He’s a priority pickup for a local program this spring.

He finished the 2022-23 season producing 24.2 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 2.6 spg and 2.4 apg as the lead guard for the Mariners as they went 20-7 and upset Seaforth High 61-60 in the third round of the NCHSAA Playoffs before falling to Farmville Central in the fourth round. He finished with 24 points against Seaforth High and shot 3-for-7 from 3-point range in the victory. He’s an electric prospect that can finish around the rim in traffic and plays an aggressive brand of basketball with the ball in his hands.

Another player that continues to play the game at a very high level, he led his team with 24 Points in a very close game against Seaforth. He has impressive end to end speed that he uses to get out into transition for buckets but he’s just as efficient when the game slows down and he has to make plays in the half-court.
