Former Wisconsin Basketball Standouts Clinch EuroCup Playoff Birth

Dekker, the reigning MoltenSports BBL Player of the Year (AKA the MVP), missed a large portion of the season, appearing in just seven games after recovering from an ankle surgery. 

Former Wisconsin Basketball Stars to Compete for EuroCup Championship

Former Wisconsin basketball star forward Sam Dekker earned a contract extension with the London Lions after his breakout MVP season.

Dekker has averaged 12.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in just over 19 minutes per game in seven games. While he was a member of the Wisconsin Badgers, the former five-star recruit from Sheboygan was named second-team All-Big Ten twice.

Although they never played together in college, his teammate Jordan Taylor was a Wisconsin basketball legend in his own right. Taylor was a two-time first-team All-Big Ten honoree and was also named a second-team All-American in 2011. Taylor is averaging 7.7 points with the Lions, a team-high 5.0 assists, and 2.5 rebounds.

Best of luck to the Wisconsin Badgers basketball alums in their pursuit of a EuroCup Championship.
