Possessing supersonic acceleration, Baker is averaging 4.13 points per game, making him a fearsome player for any opposing defense.

Baker attributed this milestone to those who have supported him along the way.

 

“Right now I’m just grateful for my coaching staff, team mates and everyone who pushed me along the way to get here and achieve this milestone.”
