The Wisconsin Badgers saw one of their players drafted for the first time in three years last month, as the Utah Jazz took guard John Tonje with the No. 53 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
Tonje, a 6’5, 220-pound wing, had a breakout season in 2024-25, averaging 19.6 points and 5.3 rebounds on 46.3 percent from the field and 38.8 percent from deep. He became one of the best scorers in the country, earning All-American honors in the process.
His name got significant buzz leading up to the draft, with his range varying across the second round.
