Evaluating each Duke basketball player’s greatest strength
The greatest strength of Duke basketball junior wing Joey Baker…
OUTSIDE SHOOTING
When Joey Baker is hot, he is easily one of the deadliest shooters in the nation. The 6-foot-6 wing played just 12 minutes per game last season but still had some big shooting nights.
Baker hit four 3-pointers against Winthrop and five 3-pointers against Wofford. This season, he looks to be Duke’s best pure outside shooter. With a picture-perfect form, when he gets his feet set, you can almost count on it going in. He should put up more eye-popping 3-point numbers this year with more opportunity.
The rest of Joey Baker’s game is still developing, but if he never fully figures it out, he will always be a reliable 3-point shooting option for the Blue Devils.
OK, time to look at all the newcomers…
