Which Wisconsin natives are in a position to be selected during the 2025 NBA draft?
The fast-approaching 2025 NBA draft carries a lot of intrigue for Wisconsin Badgers fans. Much of that intrigue surrounds the draft stock of star wing John Tonje. The All-American is fresh off a dominant 2024-25 season that included per-game averages of 19.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists, plus shooting rates of 46.5% from the field, 39% from 3 and 91% from the free-throw line. Although that top-end production should generate significant NBA interest, he's an older draft prospect at 24 and may have already reached his offensive ceiling. Tonje is a near guarantee to be selected during the draft's first two rounds. The questions are, how early, and by which team? Tonje's draft position aside, Wisconsin basketball fans aren't restricted to following the college level. High school basketball in the state has reached new heights over the past few years, with several notable in-state products excelling in the NBA. Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton's breakout run to the NBA Finals headlines that list. Another notable player is poised to join Haliburton and other Wisconsin natives during this week's draft. In addition, several others are projected as undrafted free agents. Here are those players, plus where they stand in CBSSports' latest top-100 player ranking: Which Wisconsin natives are in position to be selected during the 2025 NBA draft? Duke guard Kon Knueppel UCLA guard Kobe Johnson Memphis guard Tyrese Hunter Knueppel is the one Wisconsin native likely to hear his name called during the draft. He's a projected top-10 pick after a standout true freshman season at Duke. Both Johnson and Hunter are ranked about 30 spots too low to threaten the draft's 59 picks. Therefore, both will likely look for an NBA Summer League or G League opportunity to showcase their talents and earn a full-time roster spot. That trio of Wisconsin natives will look to join a group in the NBA that currently includes Patrick Baldwin Jr., Johnny Davis, Tyler Herro, Tyrese Haliburton, Sam Hauser, Jalen Johnson, Kevon Looney, Jordan Poole, and others. Don't be surprised if Knueppel is a household name sooner rather than later.

Jrue Holiday trade grades: Who won Celtics and Blazers deal?
Jrue Holiday is on the move once again after the veteran has played for four teams (the Sixers, Pelicans, Bucks and Celtics), with Boston moving him to the rebuilding Portland Trail Blazers. It was fairly expected, wasn't it? The Celtics face some tough decisions this offseason to get them under the dreaded second apron, and this will absolutely help, especially as they wait for Jayson Tatum to come back from a torn Achilles. As for Holiday? He's an aging two-time NBA champion with an expensive contract. Advertisement With all that in mind, we'll hand out grades for both teams as we usually do. Let's dive in: Jrue Holiday trade details CELTICS GET: SG Anfernee Simons, two second-round picks BLAZERS GET: PG Jrue Holiday Celtics trade grade The Celtics will have trouble contending next season with Tatum out and that second apron status wasn't going to help them maneuver. So they had to trade the 35-year-old Holiday and his contract, which has over $66 million the next two seasons before he has a $37.2 million option in 2027-28. Getting Simons back isn't the worst. His contract will expire after this season and we know he can score. His defense? Not as good. But it's the kind of trade the Celtics need to make and they'll need scoring in place of Tatum this season. Advertisement A necessary move with a decent return. Not bad! GRADE: B+ Blazers trade grade As Portland tries to move toward getting back to the playoffs, they'll need some veteran help to get there. And yes, Holiday is past his prime. But maybe he's there to help young players like Scoot Henderson, Shaedon Sharpe and Donovan Clingan to learn how to win. On paper, it's a move to take on a large contract and get some picks in exchange, and I'd bet they weren't going to re-sign Simons anyway.

Ranking the five best insert sets of the ultra-modern era
Though the sports card hobby has recently been dominated by record sales for high-end patches and autographs, future collectors might look back on the ultra-modern era as a time when iconic inserts reimagined how cards are designed. From old designs that were revived to fresh ideas that spawned a number of spinoffs, here are five inserts that have defined the era. 1. Kaboom Considered arguably the most important insert of the ultra-modern era, no insert set has performed as well on the secondary market and influenced as many spin-offs as Kaboom. Advertisement First designed for Panini's 2013-14 Innovation Basketball, the players were hand-drawn by illustrator Gyula Nemeth to resemble comic-book superheroes. The concept immediately captivated collectors and has since become one of the hobby's most coveted chases. In addition to selling extremely well on the secondary market, the comic-style design has inspired a number of insert sets in the years since, including Manga, Presentations and Prizmania. In 2025, the set made its debut in Revolution Basketball with the athletes again hand-drawn by Nemeth following an extended period with more photo-realistic player designs. To date, the highest public record for any Kaboom card is the $225,000 paid in a private sale for a 2018 Panini LeBron James Kaboom Gold /10 BGS 9.5 in 2024. 2. Downtown While insert sets such as Color Blast and Blank Slate thrive on simplicity, the iconic Downtown cards have been anything but. Advertisement First introduced in 2016-17 Panini Studio Basketball as 'From Downtown,' the set has always featured backgrounds unique to the city of the featured player. The set moved to Panini Cornerstones for 2017 before finally appearing in 2018 Optic Football. Downtown has been a beloved chase for the Optic brand since and is now highly coveted among football and basketball collectors. Downtown will make its debut with the WNBA as part of 2025 Donruss WNBA. According to public records, the highest sale for any Downtown card to date is the $108,000 paid for the 2020 Optic Joe Burrow Downtown Gold Vinyl 1/1 BGS 7.5 at Goldin in 2022. 3. Color Blast Since debuting in 2019 Prizm Baseball, Color Blast has quickly become one of the standout chases from the era. Advertisement The design is simple but effective, and features a basic player action shot over a colorful backdrop. The design of the blast itself varies from set to set. In the years since its launch, Color Blast has expanded to feature more sports and more sets, and has now been spread across basketball, football and soccer as well as the Obsidian, Spectra and Select sets. Originally featuring a white background, the Color Blast Black design debuted with 2023-24 Obsidian Basketball and has since expanded to Obsidian Football and Select WNBA. The highest public sale for any card from the set is the $40,000 paid for a 2019-2020 Panini Spectra LeBron James Color Blast BGS 10 Black Label in 2020. 4. Stained Glass Often associated with the Topps Gallery 'Gallery of Heroes' insert set, the stained glass design was revived during the ultra-modern era by Panini America for 2012-13 Innovation Basketball. Like its predecessor, the cards featured a transparent design and were created using acetate rather than the traditional paperstock. Advertisement The set later earned more widespread appeal when it landed in 2019-20 Panini Mosaic Basketball with an updated design, and it has since thrived as part of multiple Prizm Football releases. To date, the highest public sale for any Stained Glass insert, according to Card Ladder's records, is the $48,000 paid for the 2018 Prizm Josh Allen Stained Glass Black Finite 1/1 in 2024. Overall, Card Ladder's records have tracked at least nine sales for Stained Glass cards of $20,000 or more and more than 50 sales of $10,000 or more. 5. Blank Slate Sometimes simple is better, and Blank Slate has carried that theme since its introduction to the hobby in 2017-18 Panini Court Kings Basketball. Advertisement The design is anchored by a simple action shot over a bare background. Blank Slate long featured exclusively a white background, but Panini later introduced black and gold backgrounds. Though most associated with Court Kings Basketball, Blank Slate has expanded to reach the NFL and WNBA under the Origins brand. One lesser-known fact about Blank Slate has been the card's long history of exceptionally high gem rates, possibly due to the card's textured surface and white background. The card has been less likely to gem when featuring black and gold backgrounds. According to Card Ladder, the highest public sale for a Blank Slate card to date is the $17,520 paid for a 2017 Court Kings LeBron James Blank Slate BGS 10 Black Label in 2025.
