People notice when Kamar Baldwin plays basketball. It is easy to observe his impressive dribble moves, his smooth left-handed shot or his 44-inch vertical jump, but the invisible things make the freshman guard special.

Baldwin honed his skills in his hometown of Winder, Ga. He averaged nearly 30 points and 11 rebounds per game in his senior year for the Apalachee High School Wildcats. He scored 2,593 points in high school, the most ever by a Barrow County player.
