2. Patrick Baldwin Jr., Sussex Hamilton (WI)

Freshman | F | 6-9 | No. 4 overall recruit

Another potentially ideal threat for the modern game, Patrick Baldwin Jr. is an elite shooting prospect with superb size at 6-9. While this might be setting the bar high, the Wisconsin native has drawn comparisons to Klay Thompson. He is as smooth as they come as a shot-maker, particularly from 3-point range, with pristine form. With his combination of size, length, and athleticism, he also projects as an elite wing defender. PBJ is a clear-cut five-star prospect and a one-and-done that will be remarkably impactful at the collegiate level.

Baldwin’s recruitment has been a bit of a mystery for a while but rumors have swirled around two possible favorites: Duke and Milwaukee. The Blue Devils represent the traditional “blue blood path” for a five-star as they present the opportunity to play a major role on a national-title-contending squad before heading to the NBA. The Panthers, on the other hand, are led by Baldwin’s father at head coach. Should PBJ stay in-state with Milwaukee, he would immediately emerge as the Horizon League’s best player.
