The Warriors reportedly include 2022 first-round draft pick Patrick Baldwin Jr. in the Jordan Poole-Chris Paul deal with the Wizards plus acquire the No. 57 pick from Washington for cash to draft Indiana big man Trayce Jackson-Davis.
Baldwin showed potential during his brief time with the Warriors, but he wasn't able to crack the rotation on a consistent basis. He appeared in 31 games, averaging 3.9 points and 1.3 rebounds in 7.3 minutes per contest.
Jackson-Davis, standing at 7-foot-1, was projected as a late first-round pick, but still was available at No. 57."Like Kevon Looney, Jackson-Davis should be able to execute offensively on a team where he’s surrounded by shooters. At 6-foot-8, he’s a lob threat, but not only a lob threat. Jackson-Davis handed out 4.0 assists per game as a senior and has displayed different ways of being a playmaker.
"Jackson-Davis has a 7-foot-1 wingspan, is regarded as a top athlete and swatted away 2.9 shots per game this past season. He isn’t going to stretch the floor, though he doesn’t look like a prospect that will clog the flow in the paint. The big, yet undersized center, asserts himself with an edge and could be a strong complement to Kevon Looney and the Warriors’ thin frontcourt."Time will tell if the swap works out for the Warriors.
