It’s no secret the Golden State Warriors are high on Patrick Baldwin Jr. Team officials were raving about the 6-foot-9 sharpshooter shortly after Golden State plucked him with a late first-round pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, and nothing Baldwin’s done during an expectedly nondescript rookie season has tempered optimistic expectations about his long-term trajectory.

For this piece, let’s take […]
