Player Joey Baker

Joey Baker Saves Duke

 

[aiw]

Draw charge, get rebound off John block, nail 3 was the best sequence of his career and he backed it up with 3 more 3s.

 

[DrKlahn]

There were games over the last 2 years where it seemed like Duke was a Baker hot streak away from winning, so I’ll just say it was nice to see him do that (even though Duke probably wins that anyway)

 

[savedukebball]

He had a few games like that in his sophomore year, albeit some against weaker competition. It feels like this is his first really big one since, and hopefully it's a building block moving forward.

 

[Inveigle]

He showed a glimpse of how great he could be. So when he's ten years into his NBA career and he scores a triple double, Duke Blue Planet can reference his playing days at Duke thru a promo video.

i like it

Too bad K burned that redshirt. Maybe by year 6 he'd be competent?

 

[rhfarmer]

I'm glad he's coming back. Maybe he can talk Dell into it.

 

[savedukebball]

There are rumors swirling that he's actually leaving after this season? If so, K got him coming and going by stealing his freshman season and his senior night...

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

So K didn’t allow his players to have their senior night, so he could arrange a grand ceremony for himself where his defense gets shredded by a bad UNC team? Seems suboptimal.

I don’t blame him. For whatever reason he hasn’t really made the impact I expected. Sometimes a change of scenery can help. I wish it was better for him. I never really want players to leave.

Honestly if I was an athlete and pro sports wasn’t an option I’d go to UCLA or California or something. Miami for my last season. Whatever. Find me nice warm weather and a beach.

Or Norman, Oklahoma

I’m assuming he was following a significant other. Only love can explain that.

He was a tenacious defender.

 

[DrKlahn]

I think Joey should switch lives with Bates Jones and go to Davidson

 

[best4heisman]

I don't know what this asshole did in practice to have his minutes stolen by Bates Jones but it almost fucked us tonight. Incredible how far he's fallen from the useful role player he appeared to be early this season.

 

[DurhamSon]

Does he transfer in conference or to the middle of nowhere like AOC and Goldwire?

 

[Devilsforlife]

I predict we will see him at Elon or High Point next year.

 

[ChibCU]

Does a D1 school even want him? He gets abused every time he’s in the game and he isn’t a net positive on offense.
