2022 NBA Mock Draft 4.0: Jabari Smith Jr. leaps to No. 1, but team with top pick might matter more than ever--The Athletic

9. Sacramento Kings

Patrick Baldwin Jr. | 6-9 forward | 18 years old | Milwaukee

Patrick Baldwin Jr. has had a great season so far. It’s worth contextualizing that the team around him is dreadful. They’re 3-9 against Division I opponents this season, and Baldwin has only played seven games. Around him, the guards turn the ball over constantly, they can’t get in and out of their sets against athletic, aggressive defenses, and the result is that Baldwin is often left to fend for himself as a creator on offense. That’s something he’s not particularly good at right now. He isn’t all that polished as a ballhandler, and most NBA teams see him more as something of a souped-up version of Phoenix Suns wing Cam Johnson: a terrific floor spacer who hits shots at a high level off the catch and has strong defensive instincts but doesn’t consistently create for himself. That kind of player is really valuable in a role, and Baldwin does project as a starter in that vein. But teams also have been disappointed with his effort level on defense and competitiveness, as he’s looked to check out a bit in games against Florida and Colorado this season. Even so, most evaluators I’ve talked with see him as a back-half-of-the-lottery pick right now, believing the effort level will be worked out in a more competitive setting than he’s currently in.
