When he arrived back in the states, Baldwin was set for his freshman year at Milwaukee. We had Baldwin ranked as the No. 4 overall player on our initial preseason NBA Draft board back in July. SB Nation caught up with Baldwin at the start of the season and asked him what he hoped to accomplish as a superstar recruit playing in a mid-major league. Here’s what he told us: “Milwaukee was a place where I thought I could make aggressive mistakes and learn from them throughout the season,” Baldwin told us in Nov. “Whether that’s scoring, defending, toughness, leadership, whatever. I think this is the perfect place for me to spread my wings and indulge some of those areas while having a coach who believes in me no matter what.”
