Notebook: Breaking down the past week of Wisconsin’s spring ball practices
Insights from the Wisconsin Badgers' recent spring practices.
In a recent poll of media members and executives, Nikola Jokic was voted the best current player in the league with 66% of the votes. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Victor Wembanyama followed with 18.9% and 15.1%, respectively.
I decided to run my own poll, asking media members, current and former team executives, and scouts to vote on who they thought was the best current player in the league. They had the choice of remaining anonymous, which many did in their comments below. After 53 votes were tallied, a clear winner emerged. Voters were free to write in any name that they chose. Somewhat surprisingly, only three players received votes. Votes: Nikola Jokic, 35 (66%), Shai Gilgeous-Alexande 10 (18.9%), Victor Wembanyama 8 (15.1%)
