The 2017 NBA Draft came and went without any Wisconsin Badgers being drafted, as largely expected. Of course, that doesn’t mean Nigel Hayes and Bronson Koenig won’t have opportunities to stick in the league.

Koenig signed a deal with the Milwaukee Bucks after the draft, reports Basketball Insiders’ Michael Scotto. Terms of the deal were not reported.
We’ll pass along more details as we hear them, but at first glance, these seem like great first steps for both players.
