Bohannon Hopes To Learn Some Tricks From Former Badger

UW coaches have been showing Jason Bohannon some tapes of former Badger Kirk Penney in hopes that he can learn some tricks for getting himself open, and also pick up more of a shooters mentality. Bohannon is the closest thing the Badgers have right now to a sharpshooter from beyond the arc, but he's often times cannot get open, and when he does get a decent look he's usually too hesitant to shoot. We saw him come out of his shell a bit during the game this past Saturday against the Crusaders. He hit a couple three pointers, and even when they didn't go in, it was nice to see him shooting when he had an open look. Hopefully he can keep that up and continue to improve, because the Badgers sure could use it.

Alando Tucker Named D-League POTW; Recalled By Suns

Former Badger star Alando Tucker was named the NBA Developmental League's Player of the Week yesterday. Alando was coming off of a week averaging 36 Points and 6.5 Rebounds. Last Friday he scored 40 points, marking the highest total scored in an NBADL game this season.

Alando Tucker was also called back up to join the Phoenix Suns. It's likely that Alando could be making this transition a couple times this season. I think at this point he's a player that's too talented for the D-League, but at the same time is not ready to crack into the Suns' shallow rotation. On many nights, the Suns only go eight men deep. While he's going to be sitting on the bench most of the year on the Phoenix roster, in practice he then has the benefit of playing against some of the league's best players instead of dominating the D-League almost mindlessly.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with Alando as the season goes on. I know I'll be pulling for him no matter where he's playing on any given night, as should all Badger fans.
