The versatile guard (6-4, 26-years-old), who starred for Baskonia last season, is the latest piece in the yellow puzzle. Kattash: “He is one of the top guards in the EuroLeague”
“Wade is one of the top guards in the EuroLeague, and possesses extraordinary physical skills”, praised head coach Oded Kattash, “He plays well on both ends of the court and brings tenacity and aggressiveness”.
Baldwin IV took part in 33 games for the Grizzlies, spent some time in the G-League and then bounced around the NBA: he moved to Portland, Cleveland, Houston, Indiana and Toronto’s G-League team. In the summer of 2019, David Blatt lured the tall guard to Europe, specifically to Olympiacos.
In his debut EuroLeague season, Baldwin started 9 games for the Greeks and played just over 16 minutes per game. His breakthrough came the next season in Munich; Baldwin announced himself as one of the leading scorers in Europe with 15.3 points per game, combined with 4 assists, 3 boards and 1.1 steals, leading Bayern to the playoffs.
On July 2021 he was signed by Baskonia as a leading player, and delivered 14.1 points, 4.4 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 15.5 PIR. In the strong Spanish league, Baldwin IV had 12.3 points, 3.9 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 37.2% from 3-point range.
