Yuting Deng is Baylor’s efficient, high-upside shot-making guard
In the 2025-26 season, Yuting Deng has been a useful Baylor rotation guard, playing in 33 games and averaging 6.6 points in 16.8 minutes while hitting a season-high 22 points with four threes at Texas Tech and delivering the game-winning jumper in overtime against Davidson. She stands out as a 6-foot-2 guard with real scoring juice, length, and versatility—Baylor has also described her as "elite offensively." The big draw is upside: she can catch fire from deep, create off the bounce, and impact winning in short bursts. She looks like a strong fit for a team needing size, shooting, and instant offense.
