The closer

He is a key part of BYU’s second unit, which ranks second in the Big 12 and 28th nationally in bench points (31.6/game). After appearing in just four games last season due to a foot injury, Baker is averaging 6.5 points in the second half of the season while shooting 50.0 percent from the field, 45.8 percent from three and 80.0 percent shoots from the charity strip.
