Team Chairman Shimon Mizrahi explained that the signing was a response to the extended absence of player Iffe Lundberg due to injury.

His statistics in the EuroLeague averaged 5.6 points, 1.6 assists, and 1.4 rebounds, while in the German league he averaged 7 points per game. Baldwin has previously played for teams including Turk Telekom Ankara, Gottingen, Trento, and Baskonia.
