Jay Bilas believes Patrick Baldwin Jr. was a high-risk, high-reward pick for the Warriors in the NBA Draft.
Bilas is not blind to the issues that adversely affected Baldwin’s draft status. He was a consensus top-five national recruit out of the Milwaukee area in 2021 but sustained a left ankle injury early in his freshman season and played very poorly upon his return.
Bilas, however, has faith in the 19-year-old’s talent, which is why Duke and several other powerhouse schools were pursuing Baldwin, who ultimately decided to play for his father at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. That troublesome ankle, however, might top the list of reasons Baldwin was available late in the first round.,” Bilas said. “What would Golden State have taken there? It’s not like they’d get an equivalent talent. They’d get somebody who’s a little bit more mature, maybe, or someone whose floor may be a little bit higher -- but his ceiling is not as high as Patrick Baldwin Jr.
