The Golden State Warriors have high hopes for rookie wing Patrick Baldwin Jr. The team’s 28th overall pick in the 2022 NBA draft has been an eRussell Westbrook Jerseysarly standout in the Dubs two preseason games, recording 19 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 1 block in 25 minutes played on .600/.625/1.000 shooting.

“His feel for the game is really high,” Looney said about Baldwin in a press conference during Golden State’s trip to Japan. “Him being a rookie and not even playing a lot of college games, for him to have that feel already; he already knows where to be at.

The fact that Baldwin is already catching Looney’s eye for his ability to pick up the nuances of what the Warriors coaching staff wants him to do is an amazing sign of the 19-year-old’s potential.
