He showed potential last season. While he isn&#8217;t a natural floor general, Baker simply makes the right plays and began to unselfishly excel in helping his teammates run the pick and roll toward the end of the campaign. In 52 games (13 starts), Baker averaged 4.1 points and 2.1 assists. That included a month of April during which he averaged 7.7 points and led the team with 5 assists per contest.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s hard worker and is well liked in the locker room, so there&#8217;s no reason not to reward him and continue exploring his potential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update: Monday, August 7, 2017:\u00a0The Knicks have formally announced that they have re-signed Ron Baker.
