Georgia’s ‘Queen of Steals’ who changed games with defense and pace
In the 2005-06 season, Sherill Baker was a lightning-quick Georgia guard whose game was built on disruption: she led the nation with 4.7 steals per game, set Georgia and SEC single-season steal marks with 149, and finished with 426 career steals, still one of the best defensive résumés in college women’s basketball history. She also gave Georgia reliable secondary scoring, averaging 18.7 points per game that season. If you want a guard who brings intensity, takes pride in turning defense into offense, and has proven championship-level edge, Baker is the kind of player who can swing a game before the box score catches up.
