Kevin Huerter - he gone
Another recruit that Beilein identified early and missed out on is headed to the NBA. He's gonna be a nice role player in the NBA. Good size, very good vision, and solid shooter. Glad to avoid playing him in 2018-2019.
He's a nice player. I don't know if his skills are strong enough to carve out a niche.
He basically needs to become a Kyle Korver type (yeah, white athlete comparison).
His athleticism is grossly under-appreciated.
much better athlete, ball-handler and passer than Korver--and while great range, he's not the shooter that Korver is (at least yet). Time will tell if his upside materializes.
Me excited.
Ohhh?
Don't play with us
If so shame on you for posting it as a fact.
But if more than a hunch hooray for you for breaking the good news first!
And if he's wrong.
No good deed goes unpunished.
This Huerts Maryland for next year
What is love? Baby don't Huerter me, don't Huerter me, no more...
Thanks guys. Two of the worlds shittiest songs ever...now stuck in my head.
I huerter myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
decent athleticism, and a great shooter (60%!! from 2 and 41% from 3) will get you good looks from the NBA.
The thing about role players in college is that they translate to role players in the NBA. If you have to dominate the ball in college to be effective, there's always a question of how you'll adjust to a complimentary role in the pros. Huerter could seamlessly transition to being a guy off the bench that hits corner threes and is the third option on offense - pretty much the same role he played at Maryland.
That said, guys that get drafted late in the first round or second round usually don't stick in the NBA so it's not like he's a sure thing. But no one is at that point.
He back.
Any facts behind this?
Great news for Badger Nation: A source said star Ethan Happ has withdrawn from the NBA draft and will return to Wisconsin for senior season.

A lot of BIG players have announced they're returning the past few days, hope Matthews does the same.
is going to be a pro C since he doesn't have a jump shot or even try to attempt 3 point shot. He really needs to expand on his shooting range or he won't be drafted next season.
Have watched someone different. I'm not seeing it.
i would take him over the guy the pistons drafted in the first round this past year
Kennard can make his own shot, Huerter probably plays better D. Kennard is an underratedly strong dude and has 10 plus lbs on Kevin, Kevin is a couple inches taller.
Either way, they should have drafted Mitchell.
...in the 1st round this year.
Kevin Huerter’s dad just told me he has not made a decision yet on whether to stay in the NBA Draft or return to college. The deadline is today. There are reports out that Huerter will hire an agent and leave Maryland, but doesn’t seem 100 percent definite quite yet.

So are Matthews and Tyler cook the only ones in the BIG who haven't announced?
nswanFor the crap formatting.
Guy sounds pretty close to the situation:
John miller Mhoops:
I truly believe a full decision has not been made yet. At least not one that I’ve been made aware of and I’ve talked to his father and both brothers.
Coming back or going to europe and play for $100,000 of tax free coin/year.
Going to Europe probably doesn't do his draft stock as well as staying in school....
Staying in school doesn't pay $100,000 tax free.
That's what I think, anyway.
Do not dream of not being drafted and spending their time in Europe. It sounds nice to us, but for them, it's not their goal.
They all want to play in the NBA. If that's his goal (which it is), leaving this year makes no sense. The draft is one of the strongest it has been in a LONG time, and he's MAYBE a 2nd rounder. Next year, the talent pool shrinks, he'll have another year under his belt to shore up his game, and get 1st round money.
agreed.
not a greed.
