Baker is a strong, tough kid with a great knowledge of the game.  He is a true PG and leader of this Bradenton Christian squad, who has started the season off with 6-straight victories.  The senior prospect finished with 23 pts in the win over Golden Gate on Saturday.  He is a true 3-level scorer, who has the ability to score at the rim or from the outside with his smooth jumper.  Baker is a very composed player and is willing to do whatever to help his team.  He can score in bunches and won’t back down from anyone, defending at a high-level from the guard spot.  Keep an eye on Baker and his Panthers squad as they look to build on their early season success.

A lot of love was shown to Baker after his performance in the O’Brien Classic where he hit the game-winner with just 13 seconds remaining for Bradenton Christian. A 6-0 guard prospect that has the DOG mentality you can’t teach young men. He continues to be slept on but will jump onto college radars here soon enough with more consistent performances in the regular season. He’s a deadly shooter from behind the arc but gets his in transition and with effective mid-range jumpers. Really impressed with his motor on the court as the floor general who will be looking to generate college interest this season. He led his team in scoring last season with nearly 20.0 PPG and is set for a big-time senior year with the Panthers.

On the defensive end, he is a floor general and a coach on the floor knowing where to be and has great control when it comes to guarding bigger players. His speed and versatility will be worth watching this season.
