efficient BYU bench bucket-getter with shot-making pop
Dawson Baker was a reliable scoring spark for BYU in the 2024-25 season, averaging 7.5 points in 19.8 minutes while shooting 45.2% from the field and 47.4% from three in 2025-26 game-tracking data before his season-ending knee injury.[1][3][15] His calling card is spacing the floor, making quick decisions, and bringing veteran toughness off the bench; he scored in double figures 13 times and hit a BYU-high 22 points against Queens, which tells you he can swing a game in short bursts.[1] The big caveat is durability, because his 2025-26 season ended after a serious knee injury involving a torn ACL and other structural damage, so he fits best as a high-IQ, instant-offense guard when healthy.[6][14]
