A player of Baldwin’s stature should have dominated a mid-major conference, but it didn’t happen. His freshman year can aptly be described as a disaster. He played only 11 games after reaggravating his injured ankle, put up shockingly poor shooting and scoring numbers when he was on the floor, and watched his father get fired at the end of a 10-22 season. Along the way, Baldwin’s draft stock fell from a lottery lock to someone who could slip out of the first round entirely. “When you start and stop the season the way I did, it’s tough to find a rhythm,” Baldwin told SB Nation at the combine when asked make sense of his rough freshman year. “It’s tough to find your footing anywhere. Rhythm is a word I’ve used consistently throughout this process, as long as I have that rhythm I know I’m a good player. But when I’m on the court I still have to produce.”
