I'll watch it tonight (You can always watch replays) I will say, though... the audio of the commentators is so poor, it almost makes it unwatchable.
I may check it out. Some on here speak highly of him and I know very little about him. Thanks for the heads up.
Yeah I’m one of those idiots. I’m expecting some rust, but I hope he at least flashes some of his talent. He’s got skills on both ends and profiles well next to either of our guards.
Never got around to watching it. Box score says not that great. 12 pts (3-15 shooting) 4 rebounds 4 assists in 30 minutes. He did get to the line a lot, something I did notice about his game, and was a +7, one of only three guys on his team that wasn’t in minus. And he’s still wearing some sort of wrap on his shooting hand, can’t imagine that helps.
This thread is annoying. His name is not Baldwin. http://texas.gleague.nba.com/news/trail-blazers-transfer-wade-baldwin-iv-legends/ Baldwin IV prefers that you get his name right. Thank you.
Watched the second half. Baldwin finished with 17pts, 7 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 blocks and only 2 turnovers. The bad? 5-14 shooting, but also just 5-10 from the line. The guy has always been a good free throw shooter so it’s gotta be that wrap he’s wearing on his shooting hand that’s bothering him. But I was really surprised at how good his vision is and how unselfish he plays. A lot of guys in the g league play a selfish game, trying to “get theirs.” Even though his shot wasn’t falling he still impacted the game (team best +20) and plays with a certain swag. He looked like...a point guard. He’s also really tough to stop once he gets going downhill at the rim. Explosive first step and knows how to draw fouls. His length on defense bothers guys. I think he’s a keeper. Definitely worth developing.
Creative passing is fun to watch. He can look for his shot and look to set up easy looks for his teammates at the same time.
