Patrick Baldwin Jr., a guard at the University of Milwaukee, enters the NBA draft after his father was fired as the Panthers’ coach.
Baldwin announced his decision in a Tweet on Friday.
Baldwin suffered from injuries throughout his rookie season despite being considered one of the top ten prospects in his class. As the Panthers went 10-22, he only appeared in 11 of Milwaukee’s 32 games.
Baldwin, 6-foot-9, selected Milwaukee because he wanted to play for his father, Pat Baldwin.
Pat Baldwin was fired by Milwaukee on March 2, one day after the Panthers’ season ended with a loss in the Horizon League Tournament. During Baldwin’s five seasons in Milwaukee, the team went 57-92.
In announcing his decision to enter the draft, Patrick Baldwin remarked, “As a kid, I always dreamed of entering the court alongside my father.” “While this season did not finish as we had hoped, I’m grateful for the opportunity to play the game I love under the guidance of a man who has always been there for me and taught me so much.”
Milwaukee has already hired Division II Queens University’s Bart Lundy to replace Pat Baldwin.
