Here’s how early entrants into the NBA draft have fared after leaving Wisconsin colleges--Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Patrick Baldwin Jr., UW-Milwaukee (2022)

This was a fascinating situation: The Sussex Hamilton High School standout became one of the top recruits in the nation, but when he chose his college destination, he chose family and home. His father, Patrick Sr., happened to be head basketball coach at UW-Milwaukee, giving the Horizon League program its highest-profile recruit ever.

But Baldwin battled injuries and didn’t take the scene by storm, and the Panthers struggled, so much that Baldwin Sr. was fired after the season.

Baldwin Jr. fulfilled the expectation of “one-and-done” and jumped to the NBA, where he became the 28th pick in the draft by the Golden State Warriors. After an offseason trade to the Washington Wizards, he averaged 4.4 points in 13.0 minutes per game this season.
