Prospect Spotlight: Kalil Baker (2018)
Kalil Baker, hailing from Rocky Mount Prep in Rocky Mount, NC has slowly began to attract some attention this summer while playing in several Big Shots events with Team Premier. Standing around 6’2’”, he is a flat out marksman shooting the ball. Has deep range, surprisingly nifty handles and is a deceptive overall athlete. Most notably, during the high school season he averaged over 24 points per game, including a monster outing against Tarboro HS where he went off for 55 points, burying 10 3 pointers in the contest. He never really stops moving and has a knack for getting to his spots. Also possesses one of the quicker releases off the catch and off the dribble (as seen in the video below).
Colleges that love shooters and big time scorers, Kalil Baker is most definitely one of the best shooters you’re going to find in high school. He is more than just a spot up shooter too. Moves extremely well without the ball, his teammates enjoy playing with him and he keeps the floor spaced. Be sure to check him out running with Team Premier this summer.
Strengths: Long Range Shooting, Consistency, Moving Without The Ball
