veteran floor general with shot-making chops and defensive bite
Ian Baker’s game was built on steady leadership, shooting, and opportunistic defense: in the 2015-16 season at New Mexico State, he averaged 13.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.1 steals while hitting 38.3% from three and 81.7% at the line, and he finished his Aggie career as a trusted captain and one of the program’s better perimeter threats[1]. The real draw is the combo guard feel—he could score, create, and defend without needing the ball nonstop, which makes him the kind of player coaches love when they want composure, toughness, and a little swagger in the backcourt[1][6].
