The Golden State Warriors moved on rather quickly from first-round pick Patrick Baldwin Jr. The stretch big now finds his entire career crumbling to ash around him and his time in the NBA may be over.
The Warriors have a love-hate relationship with drafting near the end of the first round. They took center Festus Ezeli with such a pick and lucked out that Draymond Green fell to them in the second round. For every Kevon Looney and Jordan Poole they found in the late first, there was also a Damian Jones or Jacob Evans that proved to be a complete bust.
