Patrick Baldwin Jr. finished with 12 points, going 4-for-5 from 3-point range, in the Warriors’ second preseason win Sunday.
SAITAMA, Japan – The Warriors’ pair of preseason games shared a glimpse at 2022 first-round pick Patrick Baldwin Jr.’s potential after he missed summer league with an ankle injury.After recording seven points on 2-of-3 shooting in eight minutes in his debut Friday, Baldwin was even more impressive Sunday.
“He was terrific,” coach Steve Kerr said after the NBA Japan Games finale. “He’s a really good basketball player. He understands the game, you can see with his flow, his moments, his shooting, his passing… He just gets it, he has a really good feel.”Baldwin was limited over the last two seasons due to an ankle injury. He was a top recruit out of high school but opted to play at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for his dad rather than join a bigger program.
In the weeks when Kerr was away from the team’s practice facility, he heard rumblings about how good the 19-year-old could be.
