The father. One side of the family tree. Duke basketball alum Chris Collins. The staff in Durham. Altogether, it may be a four-way melee for Hamilton (Wis.) small forward Patrick Baldwin Jr., a five-star who ranks No. 3 overall on the 247Sports 2021 Composite and has yet to name finalists.
Baldwin Jr.'s namesake is the head coach at Wisconsin-Milwaukee. His dad's blood relatives live near the Kansas campus. Both parents played for Northwestern, where he was a ballboy — alongside Rolling Meadows (Ill.) five-star shooting guard and potential college teammate Max Christie — when his pops was an assistant under Collins.
