6'7 freshman forward with a comeback story and room to grow
Brody Baker is a 6'7" freshman forward for IU Columbus whose value goes beyond the box score: he battled a tough freshman year injury run, including an ankle injury, Achilles strain, and concussion, but stayed engaged, studied the game, and kept his spot in the program. In the 2024-25 season, his stat line was still very limited, so the real draw is upside, resilience, and coachability rather than polished production. If you want a long, rangy forward who brings grit, patience, and a team-first mentality, Baker is a name worth watching.
