Wisconsin Star AJ Storr Continues to Rise in NBA Draft Rankings
The Badgers sophomore wing is getting hot at the right time.
When the Wisconsin basketball season comes to an end, there will be a lot of speculation surrounding the future of Badgers wing AJ Storr.
Storr really developed in his first season with the Badgers following his freshman campaign at St. John's. As a sophomore, the Illinois native led the team with an average of 16.2 points per game during the regular season. Additionally, he contributed 3.7 rebounds and an assist per game, en route to second-team All-Big Ten honors.
"He [Storr] has a unique talent that he does some things you can't teach," Gard told reporters. "There's a line there that you have to let him roll a little bit, and you provide some guidance.
"It appears he's extremely appreciative for the growth he's had this year, because we've coached him pretty hard, and he's been very receptive to it. I've said all along he might be our most improved player."
Shot selection has, at times, been questionable. But Wisconsin basketball needed a bucket-getter in the lineup, and Storr has been that all season long. He's reached double figures in scoring in each of the last 30 games while shouldering a massive 29.5% usage rate.
