Ron Baker had an incredible college career at Wichita State before being invited by the New York Knicks to join their summer league roster. Per Ian Begley of ESPN New York, Baker’s deal is certain yet.
The Knicks have signed summer league guard Ron Baker to a contract. Terms are unclear, but Baker is believed to have some guaranteed money.
Until we hear otherwise, we will assume this signing merely brings Baker to Knicks training camp. Despite getting an offer to training camp, there is no guarantee that he will be on the final 15-man roster.
Baker, 6-4, 220-pounds, played four seasons at Wichita State University, averaging 13.2 points, on 43.3-percent shooting, with 4.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.31 steals over 30.6 minutes in 124 games.
