16. Wade Baldwin IV, G, Vanderbilt

Assuming that you can get passed the fact that he has two last names, Wade Baldwin is an interesting prospect. He can go from anywhere late in the lottery to late in the first round. At this point in the draft, that shouldn’t be surprising.

Baldwin has the physique of a prototypical guard in the NBA, standing at a chiseled 6-foot-4, but his inconsistencies in some aspects of his offensive game is why he won’t be a top 10 pick in this year’s draft.

He struggles against bigger defenders and isn’t the best finisher at the rim. He also isn’t the most athletic prospect in the pool. But he can score. Baldwin averaged 14 points and five assists this past season for Vanderbilt, while shooting 43 percent from the field and 40 percent from three-point range.
