Justin Taphorn - Plays final three minutes in opener Taphorn (undisclosed) checked in for the final three minutes of Monday's season opening win over South Dakota.

Impact Taphorn did not suit up in during the preseason, but was available to open up the regular season and saw the floor in the winding minutes of Monday's blowout victory. The 6-5 junior is not expected to be a rotational member for the Badgers this year.

Chucky Hepburn - Scores 14 in win Hepburn closed Monday's 85-59 victory over South Dakota with 14 points (5-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 28 minutes.

Impact It will be more important that Hepburn turns his solid start to the season into better production on a consistent basis, as he showed greater efficiency from the field in the opener. Pay attention to Hepburn's ability from the three-point line as this will keep him consistent even when he's less active in setting up good looks for his teammates.

Tyler Wahl - Logs double-double in opener Wahl ended Monday's 85-59 win over South Dakota with 19 points (5-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 27 minutes.

Impact Wahl hasn't figured out his long-range shot but did well to shoot at a high rate from the free-throw stripe. As the key piece for the Badgers in the absence of Johnny Davis, it will be important that Wahl can get points in whatever way the defense allows him to.

Impact Klesmit logged the start in his Wisconsin debut and finished with a solid overall stat-line, as he was one of four Badgers to manufacture double figures offensively.

Steven Crowl - Takes charge in scrimmage Crowl led the Badgers with 14 points on 6-of-11 shooting, adding six rebounds and two assists across 20 minutes in Sunday's exhibition victory over Eau Claire.

Impact Crowl took advantage of an undersized, DIII opponent in what was a solid tune-up game before the regular season begins Nov. 7 against South Dakota. Without Chris Vogt around this season to provide relief in the post, Crowl will be tasked with serving as the primary center in a tough Big Ten conference that features plenty of talented five men. He conceded time to presumed backup Chris Hodges in the second half, but the seven-footer will be the primary option when meaningful games get underway. He has a slight frame compared to other, more experienced centers in the conference and will need to be more assertive in the post in order to excel in the opportunity he finds himself with.

Isaac Lindsey - Participates in exhibition Lindsey (foot) participated in an exhibition game Sunday versus Eau Claire, according to Abby Schnable of the Wisconsin State Journal.

Impact Fortunately for Lindsey, his previous injury was not problematic long-term. He is expected to continue being a backup while healthy. But unlike during Lindsey's freshman season, the experienced sophomore should receive more opportunities in terms of showing what he can supply.

Justin Taphorn - Out again Taphorn (undisclosed) did not participate in an exhibition game Sunday versus Eau Claire, according to Abby Schnable of the Wisconsin State Journal.

Impact Taphorn sat out the Badgers' preseason, including their latest and final game. He will try to be available when they host South Dakota on Nov. 7.

Max Klesmit - Suffers injury Sunday Klesmit suffered an apparent ankle injury in a scrimmage Sunday, Evan Flood of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact There aren't many details regarding the injury, but Klesmit converted a layup during a scrimmage and landed awkwardly, something that prompted him to go into the locker room. It remains to be seen if it will be a serious injury or not, but this is something worth monitoring with the beginning of the season only a few days away.

Wisconsin confident it can keep winning without Johnny Davis

OCTOBER 19, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tyler Wahl - Dominates in early practices Head coach Greg Gard said Wednesday that Wahl has become "a dominant player" in practice, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Wahl, who was arguably Wisconsin's best player in 2021 behind first-round draft pick Johnny Davis, is in line to be the focal point of the Badgers' during the upcoming campaign. The 6-foot-9 forward averaged 30.5 minutes, 11.4 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game a year ago, and he figures to continue starting and seeing his numbers increase across the board in his senior season.
