The Wisconsin Badgers are facing pivotal roster battles as the 2026-27 season approaches. With John Blackwell heading to Duke, the backcourt is wide open, and freshman Daniel Freitag is pushing for a starting spot. Scott and Natalie break down the competition at guard, center, and wing, and predict who will emerge.
Wisconsin's depth chart is in flux, with battles at point guard, shooting guard, power forward, and center. Max Klesmit is the likely starter at the one, but the two-guard spot is contested between Kamari McGee, Jack Janicki, and Freitag. At center, Steven Crowl faces a challenge from Nolan Winter, while Tyler Wahl holds off freshman Xavier Amos at the four. The wing features Jordan Davis and transfer A.J. Storr. New AD Shawn Eichorst brings fresh energy to Madison.
The hosts make bold predictions, including a breakout season for Darrion Dupree and a key role for Eugene Hilton Jr. They project Wisconsin to finish 5th in the Big Ten and secure a tournament bid. As the roster takes shape, the Badgers' ceiling depends on young players stepping up. Subscribe for more Wisconsin basketball coverage.
