There were 19 professional scouts that were credentialed for Saturday’s game between No. 13 Wisconsin and Rutgers per assistant director of communications Jordan Ozer. They were all there primarily to see Badgers star Johnny Davis, who entered the game as the 13th leading scorer in the nation and second leading scorer in Big Ten play. He’s a national player of the year candidate and a likely top ten pick in next summer’s NBA Draft.
Davis didn’t disappoint in scoring 19 points and grabbing 8 rebounds in leading Wisconsin to a Big Ten best 14th conference win. However, he worked extremely hard for everything he got due to another tremendous performance from Rutgers’ Caleb McConnell.
