2014-2015 Wisconsin Basketball Preview

By Padog — May 23rd, 2014 at 2:24 PM — 3 comments
Filed under:
  • basketball
  • wisconsin

Wisconsin:

Well the grinch(Bo Ryan) is in store for a nice ride this season. He has a really good team this year. They made it to the Final Four last year and there is no reason to think they will not get there again this year. The Badgers lose Zach Bohannon and Ben Brust. This means losing:

17% MPG

17% PPG

13% RPG

10% APG

16% SPG

1% BPG

This is not that much to replace. In fact their defense will get better. Brust was a good spot-up shooter but not much else. Gasser can replace his production. Here is their roster for this year:

#   Name                           HT   WT   YR      POS

32 Evan Anderson            6-10 245  RS.SR C

The back-up Center, he only played 14 games last year. There is not much to go by.

21 Josh Gasser                6-3  190  RS.SR  SG

The starting Shooting Guard, he is a big part of how good Wisconsin is this year. If he can fill Brust's role, then the Badgers will be favorites to make the National Championship game.

13 Duje Dukan                  6-9   220  RS.SR  PF

Dukan will get about 10 minutes a game this year. He is a servicable back-up.

44 Frank Kaminsky          7-0   234    SR.     C 

Kaminsky came on strong towards the end of the year last year and was a huge part of their run. He is the starting Center, could be in the running for player of the year. 

12 Traeveon Jackson        6-2   208    SR.     PG

The starting Point Guard, plays a little too much isolation ball for my liking. With Craft and Appling gone, he is top 5 Point Guard in the conference.

2  Jordan Smith                   6-1   180    RS.JR    PG

Redshirted last year. Will be the back-up Point Guard.

15 Sam Dekker                   6-7    220   JR.     SF

Will be their second go-to-guy. If he develops his shot, he will be dangerous.

33 Zak Showalter                6-2    192   RS.SO  PG

The third string Point Guard, redshirted last year.

35 Riley Dearring                6-5    180   SO.     SG

Will not really play.

30 Vitto Brown                    6-8     237   SO.     PF

Will most likely be the third-string Power Forward.

24 Bronson Koenig             6-3    190    SO.     SG

The back-up Shooting Guard, was actually decent last year and will be good this season.

11 Jordan Hill                     6-3     170   SO.     SG

Only played 11 games last year.

10 Nigel Hayes                  6-7      250   SO.     PF

The starting 4, he will be really good this year. He has some good post moves and a nice jump shot.

5  Aaron Moesch               6-8      200    SO.    PF

He may have redshirted.

   Ethan Happ                     6-8     200    FR.     PF

A three star, the #35 Power Forward in the class. He may or may not play.

   T.J. Schlundt                    6-4    180     FR.     SF

A two star, the #82 Shooting Guard in the class. He will probably redshirt.

Projected Starting Lineup:

PG: Traeveon Jackson

SG: Josh Gasser

SF: Sam Dekker

PF: Nigel Hayes

C: Frank Kaminsky

If this team puts it all together, they will pretty hard to beat. I think that they will finish 15-3, good enough for 1st in the B1G.

Thank you guys for reading these, I am planning on posting these again when basketball season rolls back around. I may even do these for football if it gets enough support. Until then I am going to work on my NBA mock draft to post on here. Thanks Again!

recruits

For how good Wisconsin has been I find it weird or puzzling that they don't get higher rated recruits. The had Kevin Looney in their state and he didn't even want to go there it seemed.  Wisconsin seems to always find white guys who turn put to be pretty good.

No doubt that Wisconsin deserves the top billing,

but it is always interesting to see how things turn out. Last year MSU was the overwhelming favorite in the B1G and a final four favorite. Even after they finally got healthy, many were picking them to win it all in the NCAA.

Thanks for doing this. Posting it again near the start of the season is a good idea.
