@TheBadgerNation: Nigel Hayes: " I'm nowhere near ready for the NBA." He'll return as expected.

As he should. Big upside, but was exposed a bit the last two weekends.

Needs to extend his range a few feet, but there's roles for guys like him. Look at one of our own, Jae Crowder. Jae's getting good run in a playoff race doing a lot of the things Hayes does for UW.

When I look at Hayes I don't see Jae Crowder, I see a young Jimmy Butler. Can Hayes grow into that type of player? If he can he will be pretty tough to stop.

Different players, for sure. Just was noting the similarities in their contributions.

Jimmy had guard skills that I don't think Hayes has. The best NBA comparison I can think of is Draymond Green.
