Wade Baldwin

[sixerswillrule]

0.6 FTAr is really good and an encouraging sign for the NBA. I see some Jrue Holiday in him with more ability to draw contact.

[Notanoob]

He looks like a real good prospect. Good 3 point shot, very good at drawing fouls. That makes for efficient scoring.

On the other hand, he's a poor finisher and his turnover issues make him more of a combo guard than a pure PG. Worthy of a first round pick. Maybe a starter down the line.

I put him right up there with Dunn in this year's PG class, which is underwhelming overall. He gets into the paint and has a high FTR, he can shoot it from midrange and deep and do both off the dribble, and he has a great defensive profile. AST/TOV isn't great but he also played in an offense built around High/lows for Jones.

Am I missing something about his A/TO ratio?

Williams - 2.4
MCW - 2.2

Felton - 1.9
Collison - 1.9

I don't think his A/TO is an issue at all - it's his creativity, if anything. Most of his assists came from specific sets and had very little in terms of free styling / creating for others when everything breaks down. Also, his A/TO ratio would be even better than it is now if guys would hit open shots.
So frustrating watching that this year...well, that and Stallings' **** offense (who I think should have been gone a few years ago).

I actually think one of his best attributes is that he uses his length with his passes to get around tight corners and such.

Sure, but I mean creativity like seeing things before others do like what CP3 does. Not a knock, but his passes always seemed "simple" to me - accurate, but simple.

Should you blame that on him, his coach or the people that have helped develop him thus far? A lot of coaches don't like creativity because it can often lead to turnovers. And I'm sure a team like Vanderbilt doesn't want to waste those possessions. On top of that, they play a slow-paced, give the ball to the bigs offense. I'd like to see what he can do on a team like the Rockets that suits him much more. Or a legitimate lob threat.

[Norman Dale]

I see some Jrue Holiday in him

I can see that - a capable but not explosive athlete, good sized PG that can play off the ball next to a dominant ballhandler.

I guess I blame Stallings, but I still hope he would have flashed some kind of vision / creativity - simply didn't see it very often. I think he'd be PERFECT as a secondary ball handler / primary ball handler against weaker secondary units.

[Xanadu]

Love him and think he is the perfect fit for my Bucks. A off ball pg with a great shot and loads of defensive potential. I like the idea of him next to Giannis a lot.

He has a 7ft wingspan. Fits right in

Agreed, there is even more to like, seeing how well he tested. Much better athlete than I was led to believe.

If we drafted Baldwin

Baldwin 6'11
Midd 6'11
Parker 6'11.5
Giannis 7'4
Henson 7'5

Yeah, I think he fits nicely.

I'd be tunned if he falls that far, literally

Me too, Teams are starting to take notice. I think he will go to either the Bucks or Bulls now.

I think he was a lock to go lotto all year long, likely to go somewhere between MIN, NOLA, DEN, SAC, MIL, ORL, UTH, CHI.

Has a really good case for been a top10 pick.
I can't see how he doesnt go top14, he could go as high as 4 if Phila gets LA's pick.

A big thing at the combine is that there are teams that don't like his demeanor and attitude. But I'm sure the teams that don't mind won't mind taking him earlier.
