‘s play against Poudre becomes even more essential. Her height and length will be a matchup nightmare for opponents, especially with her ability to shoot the three-pointer and drive to the basket.

Baker is a strong complementary guard who lets the game come to her, carefully seeking shots. Often spacing the floor from catch and shoot threes, she is a well rounded guard who raises the offensive floor. Showing value flowing into shots quickly off of movement, her scoring volume from weak side actions will be particularly intriguing. Also actively hitting well timed passes to teammate cutters, Baker has been especially beneficial for 3-1 ThunderRidge.
