Baldwin was recalled from the G League on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin, who is averaging 22.7 points and 5.2 rebounds with the Texas Legends, has been tearing it up so far in the G League this season. However, the former first-round pick hasn't seen any NBA action since Dec. 30 and it may continue during his call-up.

Baldwin tallied 27 points (13-22 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight assists, six rebounds and one steal in the win Wednesday over Westchester.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin has been a dynamic scorer in his brief time in the G League, averaging 22.2 points across five games with an impressive 46.4 percent field goal percentage. It seems likely he'll rejoin the Trail Blazers at some point this season, but at least for the time being he's one of the more productive guards available in terms of fantasy.

Baldwin was assigned to the G League on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will be Baldwin's first stint in the G League this year, as the former Vanderbilt guard was assigned to the Texas Legends of the G League on Friday. Prior to his demotion, Baldwin was averaging 5.5 minutes and 2.0 points across 13 appearances with Portland.

Baldwin contributed five points (2-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three assists, and one rebound in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 143-100 loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin finished with season highs in scoring, assists, and minutes, but this was likely due to the lopsided score. Having only appeared in seven games thus far this season, Baldwin can be avoided across all formats.

Baldwin managed 15 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-6 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists across 23 minutes in the Trail Blazers' 116-83 preseason win over the Suns on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
With both Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum getting the night off for rest, Baldwin had an opportunity for some extra run off the bench. He put his preseason-high number of minutes to good use, posting an exhibition-best rebound and point total. The 22-year-old was also one of the Blazers' best player in the summer league this season, but his exact role and allotment of minutes come the regular season remains in flux.

Baldwin provided 14 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 FT), six assists and four rebounds across 20 minutes during the Trail Blazers' 91-73 win over the Lakers in the Las Vegas Summer League championship game Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old wrapped up a solid tenure in the desert with the second-highest scoring total for Portland on the night. The 2016 first-round pick finished with averages of 13.4 points (on 45.0 percent shooting), 7.4 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 25.4 minutes over seven contests. He'll now look to up his NBA opportunities in the coming season after logging only seven games of regular-season action with the Blazers in the 2017-18 campaign, although he'll have a steep hill to climb in terms of playing time while navigating a crowded shooting guard depth chart.

Baldwin finished with 14 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 assists, one rebound and one steal in 28 minutes during Sunday's 95-80 summer league victory over the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin's Vegas fling continued as he double-doubled in the quarter-final victory over the Celtics. Shabazz Napier has now signed with the Brooklyn Nets paving the way for Baldwin to have a crack at becoming the primary backup to Damian Lillard. He is by no means a lock but his play over the past week surely puts him in the prime position.

Baldwin tallied 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight assists, six rebounds and a blocked shot across 22 minutes in Thursday's 95-69 Summer League playoff win over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin has had a brilliant summer campaign an is among the most likely to receive a training camp invite this summer. After being drafted by the Grizzlies in 2016, he was traded to the Blazers last season where he thrived in G-League play and actually played seven games with the Blazers at the end of the season. Obviously, it's a crowded depth chart for Baldwin to navigate, and it's unlikely that he could move ahead of Shabazz Napier, who sits behind Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum. The Vandy product deserves a closer look and if he doesn't catch on in Portland, he may find success elsewhere.

Baldwin finished Tuesday's 89-95 win over the Spurs with 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, nine assists, five steals and one block across 30 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin was all over the floor Tuesday, getting everyone involved with a team-high nine assists, while also playing some impressive defense and adding a game-high five steals. As long as he continues to see a full workload, Baldwin will have plenty of utility for summer league DFS contests. Currently a free agent, Baldwin's strong play this summer could earn him a chance a regular season roster spot, potentially in play for a standard contract or two-way deal.
