The Wisconsin Badgers saw one of their players drafted in the 2025 NBA Draft last week, as John Tonje went to the Utah Jazz with the No. 53 overall pick.

It was the first time in three years that the Badgers had a selection in the draft, with Johnny Davis being the last draftee, going No. 10 to the Washington Wizards in the 2022 NBA Draft.

Tonje, a breakout star for the Badgers in 2025, was expected to go in the second round, finding his home with the Jazz perhaps a little later than expected.
