Five-star wing Joey Baker never believed his own hype
Posted Jul 30, 2017
Just three years ago, Joey Baker was a rising eighth grader at Trinity Christian School (Fayetteville, N.C.) just happy to be on the same court with teammate Dennis Smith Jr. This summer, Baker is averaging 17 points a game with Team Felton. As a result everyone from UCLA to Kansas, Louisville, Florida, N.C. State and Texas, among many others, are all in hot pursuit.
