Summary
Patrick is a big skilled forward that finishes well around the rim and has a decent mid-range jumper. He also can rebound and push in transition, which will help his team by not allowing the defense to set up. He needs to improve his ball-handling as he doesn't create space off the dribble; he also tends to drift and not engage on both ends of the floor.

Notes
USA Basketball - Minneapolis, MN - 4/5-7/2019
A versatile wing forward that can get it off the rim, push in transition, create off the bounce, knock down the 3 ball and defend multiple positions.
Nike EYBL - Emerson, GA - 4/27/2019
Elite wing with the ability to shoot the ball from behind the 3pt line. Can put the ball on the floor and finish at the rim. He plays with great pace and has a knack for finding open teammates on drive and kick opportunities.
NBPA Top 100 - Charlottesville, VA - 6/11-14/2019
Elite wing with size and skill. Rebounds it well. Can create off the dribble.
USA Basketball - Colorado Springs, CO - 7/26-28/2019
Fluid wing/forward that can do a little of everything. Can dribble, pass, rebound, defend at a high clip.
USA Basketball - Colorado Springs, CO - 10/11-13/2019
Long wing that can put it on the floor, shoot the 3 ball create for himself and teammates and defend multiple positions. Seem to accept playing in the background a lot. I would like to see him be more assertive.

Volume Shooting Analytics:
Baldwin's data is significant enough to make a determination on his ability to become a volume shooter. Unfortunately for him, he is currently very far away from being successful as a volume shooter. He ranks second to last among eligible players in the class, and is projected to only shoot 28% at a high volume.

This data was created by AJ Wahl by ploting each game of a player's most recent season. The x-axis represents the amount of threes taken per minute, in order to normalize for minutes played. The y-axis is simply the player's three point percentage in that particular game. The line represents the trend between a player's three point volume, and their success. A upward slope means that a player gains efficiency as they shoot more often, and a downward slope means that a player loses efficiency the more shots they take. Note that 0.2 3PA/36 is roughly 7 3s, and 0.3 translates to 11 3s. Only players with an R^2 value above .04 were analyzed, to ensure that each player has at least some correlation between their attempts and their frequency.

Defensive Versatility Analytics:
Baldwin Jr. has not played much basketball in the past few years, and so it was difficult to collect data for him. Therefore, these results must be taken with a grain of salt. Baldwin Jr. is in the 81st percentile of defensively versatile wings. He was particularly able to defend ball handlers, as well as matchup out of position.

This data was hand-tracked by AJ Wahl and Bryon Cook. Every single defensive possesion of each player's season was analyzed. This dataset includes all possessions when the defender is guarding on-ball, in man-to-man, and against a player not within their position group who shoots the ball, is fouled, or commits a turnover. The percentile listed above is a players standing compared to their postion group calculated by compliling and weighing various different metrics derrived from the hand-tracked data. This data only measures a portion of a player's impact, but it is clear that the ability to defend out of one's position group is a vital skill to contributing to winning basketball at the professional level.
