Great news for lazy home coffee aficionados who want an easy cup of joe and don't care about the environment or acidity!

I'm so glad, he's gonna make the Bucks over gp3. Do you guys think he or Hayes or both would have been drafted if Floridas runner 3 misses and they go take care of SC to make their 3rd final four?

I really doubt either makes the team.

Nope. Too many turnovers and poor shots this year.

Guessing this is purely to drum up interest in Oshkosh. But always thought he had decent 3&d potential

I can shoot it from deep. I’m Wisconsin’s all-time leader in made three-pointers.

In a ranking of isolation points per games of the 2016-17 NCAA season, I finished third highest overall in the country (among power conference players).

I’m not just a shooter. I ran the point every year in college, as well as on pretty much every team I’ve ever played for. I’m just as comfortable bringing the ball up the floor and running an offense as I am playing off the ball.

The pick-and-roll game in the NBA is perfectly tailored to my game. If a big switches off on a ball screen, I can knock down the midrange shot every single time. Or hit the roll guy for a pop, or for a pocket pass to the rim. I went to a Suns game last spring and my jaw was on the floor from seeing all the open shots that the guards got. At Wisconsin I never got to play the fast, open style that I’m best at because our system was focused on getting the ball inside. In college, I can count on two hands all the wide-open shots I got. But I’m grateful that I learned how to move without the ball.

I want the big shot. I want the ball at the end of games. I’ve proven I can hit those shots.

I didn’t get invited to the NBA Draft Combine, but don’t overlook my physical testing numbers. When you compare my shuttle run, agility and vertical jump numbers to those of the rest of the guys in this year’s draft class, I rank in the top 10 in each category. That includes this year’s prospective lottery picks.

From the La Crosse Tribune:

http://lacrossetribune.com/sports/local/nba-koenig-closing-in-on-nba-contract/article_d7f53a29-65a2-56ac-92ae-075d9f4e32a8.html

BRONSON KOENIG
NBA: Koenig closing in on NBA contract
TODD SOMMERFELDT todd.sommerfeldt@lee.net

Bronson Koenig wasn’t selected in Thursday night’s NBA draft, but that isn't the only way to get a chance to play in the league.

Koenig, a 6-foot-4 guard and Aquinas High School graduate, had discussions with the Milwaukee Bucks after the draft and is expected to sign with the team on July 1, according to a source who requested anonymity.

Each team in the NBA receives two two-way contracts for players who are essentially their 16th and 17th on the roster. The player spends most of his time in the G-League — formerly the D-League — but can get called up to the NBA roster and move back and forth.

They are available to any player with less than three years of service in the NBA, and players are paid by the G-League and earn more for each day they spend on the NBA roster.

I'm not a Badgers guy but I like this pick-up. Koenig can shoot and always felt had an "it" factor. If anything, this is a perfect signing for Oshkosh if he chooses to play there vs overseas.

It would be funny if Nigel plays in NY after ripping on the city.

Solid move, gets people interested in the Herd a little more because hes probably going to be there. This will be like the Abbrederis signing though, casual Bucks fans will think Koenig should be starting come December

Wow, the nonsense posted on this board... :banghead:

What he is, I believe, is two years older than Vaughn... Imagine a 19 yr old Bronson playing a 1,000 minutes for the Bucks- :lol:

Love the signing, nothing but good... He'll play hard in SL and if he's good enough for Oskosh, that would be fantastic!

I was obviously being facetious. But Vaughn is still garbage.
