BALDWIN JR. DRAFTED IN FIRST ROUND

Patrick Baldwin Jr. became UWM’s highest-ever NBA draftee in June when the Golden State Warriors selected him with the 28th pick of the first round. Baldwin battled injuries in his only season at UWM, averaging 12.1 points and 5.8 rebounds in 11 games. But he’d been on NBA radars since he starred for Sussex Hamilton High School, and he was the 2020 Gatorade Wisconsin Player of the Year. He’s UWM’s first NBA draft pick since Von McDade in 1991 and the third in the program’s history. – Howie Magner
