Ron Baker received the best news of his NBA career on Monday, August 1, 2016. Though it had been known for quite some time, it wasn’t until recently that Phil Jackson officially announced that the New York Knicks had signed Baker to a partially guaranteed one-year deal.
Baker will receive the best news of his writing career just four days later.
Despite his bordering on Round 1 status in 2015, Baker chose to complete all four years of his Wichita State Shockers career. He unpredictably went undrafted in 2016, but the Knicks didn’t waste much time before signing the combo guard.
