Vin Baker
B+ C D+ C+ C B
Height: 6'11"
Weight: 232lbs
College: University of Hartford
Position: F
Pros: Baker is probably one of the most refined rookie low post scorers the league has seen. He can pound down low and has soft touch around the hoop. He can also step out and hit a 12-15 foot jumper with reasonable consistency. Baker is also a relatively solid defensive player which is also helped out by his amble frame.
Cons: Baker is a very poor rebounder for a player of his size and probably will never be much better than mediocre. His potential is questionable as he should be relatively old for a rookie. He is also a downright bad FT shooter for someone with a decent jump shot.
Overall: Baker is a bit of a wildcard. He has a very solid skill set for a young player, but it is not known how much he will actually improve. He has the ability to be a very good scorer but is known as a bit of a partier. This reputation might scare a few teams away and might even limit his potential to grow as a player. Overall he shouldn't fall much farther than #10.
. Seemed like a really nice guy too. He was a Knick for a minute, even
