Wade Baldwin IV, Vanderbilt, NBA Draft

118. Wade Baldwin IV is a physical specimen standing 6-4 with an enormous 6-11 wingspan. That length will allow him to be a beast on the defensive end as well as help him finish around the rim. While finishing around the rim was actually one of his shortcomings at Vanderbilt, he has all the tools and physical makeup needed to excel in that area. <p>Baldwin is 20-years old and finished his sophomore year averaging 14.1 points and 5.2 assists for the Commodores. He’s got explosive athleticism — especially in the open court — and uses it to his benefit more often than not. Baldwin is more in the mold of a scorer rather than a shooter, but displayed the ability  to knock down open 3-pointers in the NCAA ranks as well. He hit almost 41 percent of his 3-pointers last season — tops for college point guards in the draft this season.</p> <p>The Jazz have Dante Exum coming back from injury and Trey Burke as a backup, but still lack depth at the point guard position that Baldwin can help appease. Baldwin has the potential to be the best all-around point guard in this draft (along with Kris Dunn) and in five years we could look back and call this one of the bigger thefts in the 2016 draft.</p> <p>Wednesday The Vertical reported <a href=.
