Good read.  Only player omitted was Dwight Hardy, I thought he would get mentioned.

The Badger lovers will be impressed though.

With Taylor a first team AA, and three seniors on the team?  Remind me again why he goes back to Madison next year?

Personally, I don't think he does. He's probably played his way into the lottery, or just out of it. Taylor would be foolish not to go pro, his stock can't possibly get any higher with another year in Madison.

Is it just me, or does Goodman look like he could be Novak's chubby older brother?

No he has not done that. He is not and will not be a lottery pick at any point in his career, although his stock may be at its highest now it's not at that level.

His performance on Sunday didn't help.

Taylor is nowhere near a lottery pick or a 1st round pick. His game isn't built for the NBA, and that's why he's rated even know as a late 2nd round pick. There is little to no chance he won't be back next season.

Add to that the fact that he is a good student that values his education. He will finish his career at UW, I guarantee it.

Why does this matter?  Sign a contract with millions and finish at your own pace.

See D Wade.

D Wade was not a good student.

Wanna make a wager?

Admittedly, I haven't seen all of Taylor's games this year, but if anyone saw his game against Indiana @ Indiana, it was incredible.  Also, since when do they list the top 5 All-America teams?  I thought they usually only did 2 in college and 3 in the NBA?

True.  There was a reason he didn't play his freshman year.  Although I have to admit when he does interviews, in my opinion, he sounds intelligent.  Maybe he "doesn't test well" or whatever excuse people use when they fail exams.

He came back afterwards and got his degree.  

Just because you leave early for the NBA does not mean you cannot finish school.  That is a bad reason to stay.

But think of the millions a degree from the Harvard of the midwest can get you in a year or two after graduation!  Going to the NBA is for chumps.

They usually do 3 for College Basketball as well.
