2015-16 UW Badger Basketball Discussion Thread

[LUKE23]

No idea on the competition but Iverson's last game he had 19 points, 16 rebounds, 9 assists, and 4 blocks.

[Turk Nowitzki]

He's got some Alando Tucker to his game.

[RiotPunch]

Solid get. Now for the Diamond.

Per the article below, he plays in a prestigious conference:

Blackburn said Iverson is the best athlete in the prestigious, 32-team Ohio Capital Conference, and his coach believes he’s the best passer as well.

I knew this for a little while now, I guess it's one of the worst kept secrets in Wisconsin Basketball recruiting.. but

Nick Noskowiak was just released from his LOI by MU. Weed isn't chemically addictive but it turns some people into tools

I don't think the Badgers ever targeted him for this reason.. amongst a few.

[Kerb Hohl]

Bo may not go back to the bench today.

[LUKE23]

Frank is pretty damn good.

[jakecronus8]

I'd be thrilled with Frank in the first. Let him learn some crafty tricks from Za for a year.

[JayMKE]

Frank is a guy I'd def look at if we're drafting 15-20

[LUKE23]

I think Frank has played himself into the lottery.

Bo was at the Dominican game last night. Stone had 28 points (10-19 shooting), 15 rebounds, 5 blocks. The 28 points and 10-19 was especially impressive considering how bad the rest of Dominican's team is. Every time Stone touched the ball there was an immediate double or triple team.

Twirly is working the prep beat.

That was a strong close. I like Kaminsky in the post with 15 when we're bleeding clock more than Koenig or T-Jax 1 on 1 on the perimeter with 5. The latter is too much of a crap shoot. Kaminsky can protect the ball and get an efficient enough look. But Koenig is breaking out overall. So smooth. That was a satisfying win.

Still need to figure things out with that bench though. I'm almost at the point where I want to see the starting 5 for entire games, 5+1 when T-Jax comes back. Ideally we rectify the issue before the tourney, because even as methodical as we play, someone else but the first 5 or 6 will be needed for a blow or due to fouls. Especially Dukan needs to get going. He can't be trusted w/ much right now, neither can Vitto. It's a shame with this being Dukan's senior year and him coming on previously, but his confidence is at early career lows.

The game was on ESPNU. They showed Bo multiple times.

All that needs to happen is for Bo to forget about mass substitutions at any point other than at the end of a blow out. He put Brown, Dukan, and Showalter in the game at the same time twice and they stunk both times. Sprinkle them in if you want to sub.

The nice thing is UW doesn't foul. Obviously that can change for a game but at least UW plays the type of game where it isn't a huge concern.

Any word on Diamond Stone? #7 right now on ESPN 100. Heard he was strongly considering UW.

At this point I think it's as simple as, "Does he want to stay near his family?" UW. Or "Does he want some freedom and to create some distance?" UConn.

Let's not overlook the most important person to stay close to... rumor is his gf is going to UW.

I thought Stone's top choice is UW but speculation is that he is still trying to be accepted into UW that is holding it up. I know UW has some hoops you have to jump through to get enrolled. Austin kafentzis dad mentioned it in an interview that his son had to take an extra year of foreign language and some other classes just to be accepted. I think stone may be dealing with the same thing

[LUKE23]

Stone is a UW lock assuming he qualifies academically. That's the hold up. I'm not an inside source buy but the guy I spoke to is extremely close to the program (as in, attends practices regularly close).
