Goodbye Wade Baldwin

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
While watching some highlights, took me a while to figure out who he reminded me of...it's Shannon Brown.

Is it because he tried to use a fake id in the flats on those highlights?
 
I think his player comp is some guy you'll see in every G-League game.
 
I think all of you are sleeping on Mr. Baldwin.

He hasn't panned out so far in limited NBA minutes, but he's a fantastic defender with that wingspan. He can guard 1-3. He's a good passer. He has an improving stroke. This team, as bad as we are, he's going to finally get that burn. He had a great Summer League.

I think he's a good complementary player to a guy like Sexton. He's good at many things Sexton currently isn't, and he's still just 22. Trot him out there for 25 minutes per game and see if we hit on something. If not, so what--this deal was done for the picks.

He's expiring right? Gotta see something by the end of the year. I don't mind giving him a shot, he is pretty clearly a flyer, but odds are the just cycle through him like they have with Payne and Jones.

He has like 0 NBA minutes to watch. that is troubling.

3rd team for a 1st round pick in just 3 seasons.

NBA isn't in the business of just jettisoning talented players for no reason.

He was a very average college 2 guard. He was described as a raw, low BBIQ player who isn't an elite athlete and has a suspect handle.

Nothing in his profile suggests he will suddenly get good.

Complete flyer, fine......give him a shot.

There's a 95% chance he's somewhere else next year.

This description does not equal a first round pick. What the hell were the scouts/GM thinking?

There are very few prospects in each draft that will make it.

It's not necessarily an indictment on any specific GM, more so the reality of picking outside the lottery.

Baldwin had length and a decent amount of shooting potential, back half of the first, someone will talk themselves in to that.

Most scouting assessments of guys in the same range are not glowing......they're almost all largely flawed players with 1-2 redeeming qualities....anyone who isn't a largely flawed player, that lasts to that range is usually undersized, an upperclassmen, injured or has glaring character issues.

Good riddance, Wade Baldwin's great grandson.

Told you all you were sleeping on him.

He was part of a deal that banked us a 1st round pick.
 
Damn I'm gonna miss him
 
I was wondering why we didnt immediately cut him
