per The Big Lead:

43. Ethan Happ, F, Wisconsin, Senior – The rare college basketball player who looks NBA-ready as a freshman, but stays all four years. Put up 17.9 ppg and a career-best 3.7 assists per game for the Badgers last year.

37. Brad Davison, G, Wisconsin, Sophomore – Surprising freshman season in which he averaged 12.1 ppg – including giving Michigan State 30 – could be a springboard to an All-Big Ten campaign.

6. Mike Daum, F, South Dakota State, Senior – Has shot over 40% from three each season, and averaged 23.9 ppg last year. He turns 23-years old in October, and his defense is very limited, so his pro prospects don’t scream lottery.

Just Missed the List

Terance Mann, G, FSU, Senior
Jessie Govan, C, Georgetown, Senior
Aric Holman, Mississippi State, Senior
Dean Wade, F, Kansas State, Senior
Jordan Murphy, Minnesota, Senior
Justin Robinson, G, Virginia Tech, Senior
Cameron Johnson, F, UNC, Senior
Nick Ward, C, Michigan St, Junior
TJ Gibbs, G, Notre Dame, Junior
Udoka Azubuike, F/C, Kansas, Junior
Cassius Winston, G, Michigan State, Junior
Oshae Brissett, F, Syracuse, Sophomore
Tremont Waters, LSU, Sophomore
Kaleb Wesson, Ohio State, Sophomore
Cameron Krutwig, C, Loyola, Sophomore
Nick Richards, C, Kentucky, Sophomore
McKinley Wright, Colorado, Sophomore

Sorry but it's criminal to put Davison over Happ on that list. Davison a nice player, but Happy is one of the best bugs in the country

No way Davison is top 50. Look at the HM list and all of these players deserve to be AHEAD of him: Mann, Murphy, Ward, Wright, Jones, etc.

Even if you project starting PGs in the B1G this season:

Team/Likely Starting PG/Last Season PPG/Last Season APG/Last Season TPG

Rutgers: Geo Baker/10.2/2.6/1.7
Illinois: Trent Frazier/12.5/3.1/2.2
Penn State: Josh Reaves/10.6/3.1/1.4
Northwestern: Jordan Ash/2.1/0.7/0.5
Purdue: Ryan Cline/4.0/1.7/0.5
Maryland: Anthony Cowan Jr./15.8/5.1/2.8
Michigan:Zavier Simpson/7.3/3.7/1.5
Ohio State: C.J. Jackson/12.6/3.9/2.1
Minnesota: Isaiah Washington/8.7/2.3/1.5
Wisconsin: Brad Davison/12.1/2.5/1.8
Nebraska: Glynn Watson Jr./10.5/3.2/1.5
Iowa: Jordan Bohannon/13.5/5.4/2.1
Mich State: Cassius Winston/12.6/6.9/2.5
Indiana: Devonte Green/7.6/2.5/1.9

Players I would prefer to have on a team instead of Davison: Winston, Bohannon, Watson Jr., Washington (biased I know), and Cowan.
 


Apparently we had the wrong Konate.

24. Sagaba Konate, F/C, West Virginia, Junior – It’s unclear what he’ll be in the pros, but at WVU he’s a menacing shot blocker (3.2 blocks per game in only 25 minutes a night). Very curious to see if he’s more of a factor on offense with the Mountaineers losing their starting backcourt.

Ever since I saw BK's bro play for the first time I've had a thought in the back of my head that it was a bait and switch situation.
 

This guy sounds like a prolific talent evaluator, no Murphy, Davison but no Tre Jones, to bad he doesn't watch much basketball, could we get him to recruit for our competition.
 




Davison over Murphy? C'mon, get real.
