The Golden State Warriors are getting their first look at first-rounder Patrick Baldwin Junior this week, after his long recovery from a long-term ankle injury. He’s been working closely with assistant coach Ron Adams and looking very good on his catch-and-shoot jumpers. He’s not looking so good when it comes to push-ups.
The form on Baldwin’s shot looks solid. He has a nice high release and his form is quite consistent and repeatable. The shot looks easy, and you’d never guess that PBJ had a serious ankle problem in the past, one that weas exacerbated by playing through it at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
