Baldwin was eligible for the 2020 NBA draft, which is tentatively set for October 16, but chose to forego his draft eligibility. If went undrafted, he also could have participated in the NBA summer league, and signed a two-way contract with an NBA team.

Last season, Turk Telekom Ankara finished ninth out of 21 teams in the Turkish Super League with an 11-12 record. The team finished first in group A with an 11-3 record in the Basketball Champions league before the European tournament was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Baldwin joins a Turk Telekom Ankara backcourt alongside Tyler Ennis, a former NBA point guard, and European players Can Korkmaz and Muhammad Baygul.
