Auburn lands JUCO wing Chad Baker-Mazara

Bruce Pearl and the Auburn Tigers have spent all offseason looking for a wing to complete their roster overhaul. On Thursday night they finally pulled it off by landing junior college transfer Chad Baker-Mazara.

The 6-foot-7 shooter spent last season at Northwest Florida after spending one season at Duquesne and San Diego State to start his career. He will have two seasons of eligibility once he arrives on the Plains.

Baker-Mazara averaged 15.2 points per game and shot 46.9% (67-143) from deep on 4.5 attempts per game in his one season at Northwest Florida. He also made 83.5% of his free throws.

That was coming off an impressive season for San Diego State where he was named the Mountain West Sixth Man of the Year. He averaged 6.4 points and shot 39.3% from 3-point range in just 12.8 minutes of action per game.

The Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic native appeared in 15 games his freshman season at Duquesne, making 13 starts. Baker-Mazara averaged 9.5 points and 2.9 rebounds while making 41.7% of his shots from beyond the arc.

He is the fourth addition Auburn has made this offseason, joining transfers Denver Jones (FIU) and Chaney Johnson (UAH) and five-star freshman Aden Holloway.
