Former NBA and Turkish Airlines EuroLeague guard, Ron Baker has been named as a project manager in Ascension Via Christi’s Strategy and Business Development department.

Baker, 28, appeared in 96 NBA games between the New York Knicks and Washington Wizards, and last played in 2019-20 as a member of CSKA Moscow. His playing career came to an early end at 28 due to injuries.
