rugged Baylor floor general who steadied the Bears’ late-season surge
In the 2014 season at Baylor, Kenny Chery was a high-motor guard who blended scoring punch with real table-setting: 11.5 points, 4.7 assists, 2.6 rebounds, and 0.9 steals per game while starting 34 of 37 games[1][4]. His calling cards were pace control, shot-making, and toughness—he returned from a turf-toe issue and helped fuel Baylor’s late-season push, including stronger production down the stretch and a big role in the Big 12 tournament run[7]. For a team, he reads like a steady lead guard with competitive edge and offensive versatility, not just a box-score guy[7][8].
