After going unselected in the 2024 NBA draft, former LSU basketball big man Will Baker will be continuing his career overseas. On Wednesday, Baker agreed to a deal with the Windrose Antwerp Giants of the Belgian BNXT League.
Baker was a graduate transfer addition for LSU this season from Nevada, and he began his career at Texas. As the only Tiger to start all 33 games, Baker averaged 11 points and 4.8 rebounds in his lone season in Baton Rouge in 2023-24.
He was previously an All-Mountain West Third Team selection in 2023. He was a two-year starter for the Wolf Pack after transferring from Texas mid-season in 2021.

Baker becomes the second former LSU player to sign with an international team in as many days after his Tigers teammate and fellow transfer addition Hunter Dean signed with a team in Slovakia on Tuesday.
