Patrick Baldwin Jr. Commits To Wisconsin -Milwaukee Instead Of Duke

Patrick Baldwin Jr. who is 6-9 and a small forward from Sussex Wisconsin and class of 2021 Has great length and an excellent frame to add weight. At 6-foot-8, can play either forward spot and he has the ability to be a weapon from beyond the arc.There aren’t many prospects who have the combination of skill, basketball IQ, size, and athleticism. Has gotten significantly better off the dribble, and it is easy to see why he is one of the premier prospects in the class of 2021. From an NBA perspective he has not only significant 3 and D potential as a forward, but his athleticism is getting better - which could mean future star status if everything continues to come together. Add in that he is a son of a coach who has been around the game his whole life, and Baldwin checks nearly every box you could want out of a prospect. Looks like he will develop into an NBA lottery pick.

Today Patrick Baldwin committed to play for his father at Wisconsin- Milwaukee instead of Duke where he was recruited by Duke Associate Head Coach Jon Scheyer.

Why?

Patrick Baldwin Jr. had this to say about committing to play for his Dad Patrick Balwin Sr. at Milwaukee -Wisconsin.

My dad, Patrick Sr., first taught me the game. I trust him with everything," Baldwin said. "My dad recruited me some. It was more about his vision for me on the team. During COVID, we spent so much time together as a family, and we watched a lot of film together. We broke down my strengths and weaknesses.

"He taught me how to shoot the ball at a young age. He never puts my game in a box. He started to show me some creative ways he would play me if I went to Milwaukee. At the end, staying close to home was important to me. My mom is the backbone of our family. Now she can be at all my home games."
