Offensive Game
Unique scorer for his size — 7-foot frame with perimeter shooting ability and off-ball mobility. Still developing consistency and NBA-level shot creation.

First-round pick (2022)
Selected 28th overall by Golden State after one college season at UW-Milwaukee, where his father was head coach.
Kings two-way signing (2026)
Signed a two-way contract with Sacramento in February 2026 after G League developmental time and 10-day looks.
Size-plus-shooting profile
A seven-footer with a career mark near 37% from three across roughly 100 NBA games — a valuable but not-yet-consistent combination.

Patrick Baldwin Jr. arrived in the NBA carrying rare size for a shooter — a legitimate seven-footer who can rise over closeouts — plus the pedigree of a coach's kid, having played his lone college season at Milwaukee under his father, Pat Baldwin. Golden State took him 28th in 2022 betting on that stroke, but a wrist injury had already dulled his freshman year and NBA minutes stayed scarce across stops with the Warriors, Wizards, Clippers and Sixers. The 2025-26 season told the honest version of his story so far: heavy G League developmental reps, a couple of 10-day looks, and a two-way landing in Sacramento in February. The bet still makes sense on paper — height plus a career mark near 37 percent from three is a valuable combination — but he has yet to string together the healthy, consistent stretch that turns a prospect into a rotation piece.

Defensive Game
Length gives him defensive potential but IQ and effort consistency are still developing. Rim protection is a tool but not yet reliable.
Intangibles
Basketball intelligence from growing up in a coaching household. Understands concepts and systems faster than most players his age.

Did You Know?
Baldwin Jr. played college basketball for his father at UW-Milwaukee — one of the rarest father-son coaching relationships in recent NCAA history.
At 7 feet tall with shooting range and ball-handling ability, Baldwin Jr. represents one of the most unique positional profiles in the modern NBA.
He was homeschooled for portions of his early education, which gave him an unusual amount of basketball training time under his father's mentorship.
His draft position (28th) reflects the gap between his potential and his production — scouts consistently grade his ceiling higher than his floor.
