What Has Been Said:
” Baker is ranked #23 in the country by ESPN. He has jumped out to a torrid start averaging 15 points, 6.5 boards, 1.5 assists, and a steal per game. Already with offers from the likes of NC State, Florida, Wake Forest, Virginia Tech, Texas and eight others. He is a national level type prospect.” — Jamie Shaw
“Baker is athletic, explosive even. The mix tape guys will need to keep their cameras rolling any time he is on the court. However, he is so much more than just a dunker. He is skilled, with range going out well beyond the arc. He can put it on the floor, and attack from the wing. Baker isn’t afraid to mix it up on the boards and plays defense with a purpose. North Carolina’s 2019 class will end up as the best in the state’s history. It may end up being the most talented state in the country, for that class. It is one for the ages. With that said, Joey Baker is at the top of the list, and will stay there.”
“Struggled with foul trouble throughout the game but he can be a tough matchup. With his height, he can certainly be strong in the paint but what we really liked was his ability to spread the floor with his shot making ability.” — Patrick O’Brien/ Against Fayettville Academy on Dec 16
