It was not a great contract year for the former Wichita star. After being waived by both the Knicks and the Wizards this season, Baker underwent shoulder surgery in February, officially ending his season.

 

Baker is fighting for his NBA life and, credit to him, he plays like it. However, Baker hasn't proven he can make enough plays at either end to stick around in the NBA. Known as a shooter coming out of college, Baker hasn't hit enough outside shots to play that role in the NBA, and hasn't been able to consistently score from other areas of the court either.

 

I still think Baker is worth a roster spot and a chance at playing time, but Baker may struggle to find a fully-guaranteed minimum contract this summer.

Potential Teams: Raptors, Hawks, Grizzlies, Pelicans, Suns

Predicted Contract: 1-year, $1.7 million ($250K guaranteed) with the Raptors

*Baker has yet to sign an NBA contract.
