Elite defense.
What Iowa is known for, of course.
Joe's wing span seems to check out.

That's assuming many of these Bronsexuals know who The Mailman is.
When Karl delivered the mail, it stayed delivered! Still sits as the second all-time scorer in the NBA, but should be passed by LeBron next year. No one else playing today is even close to these top scorers.
Incredible bad luck to come up lame for these contests, especially since he played so injury free during his college days. Given the competition, Luka would have shined.
Chad is very high on Joe Wieskamp post combine.
Could Joe go FIRST ROUND?
As you will read,
In a league so hungry for shooters that Corey Kispert is a likely lottery pick, Wieskamp made his case at the combine for why he should be a first round pick too. His Game 2 performance (26 points, 10 rebounds, 3 steals, 6-for-7 from 3) made scouts wonder whether he’s just been overshadowed by big man Luka Garza for the past few years.
He’s got excellent size and length for a wing, tested as one of the top athletes in the draft, and was one of the big standouts in the 5-on-5 games at the combine. He’s younger, longer, and more athletic than Kispert, and when you compare their numbers statistically adjusted for pace, they’re very similar. I think Wieskamp made the move from the 45-to-undrafted range into a legit 25-to-40 prospect in the draft.

Wait, I thought so many experts on this board were declaring that Joe wasn't athletic enough to play in the league.

If he can stay mostly healthy, KD will get to the top 10, outside shot at top 5, thought that will be tough. Right now he's about 2 full seasons from the top 15, and that's adjusting for not playing a full 82 games and scoring below his career average.
90% in this poll would take Player A.
What will NBA teams do?
Player A: Joe Wieskamp, IOWA
Player B: Corey Kispert, Gonzaga

If anyone had hope of Joe coming back, it appears he has an agent.
The poll should have also stated
Player A against Big Ten Conference
Player B against West Coast Conference
Imagine the #s Garza & Weezy would have put up in the WCC.
And Weezy won't be getting mugged (hopefully) in the NBA
Maybe its standard in the NBA combine (i have no idea), but normally when referring to vertical, most are referencing a standing number. The 42" was a 'max vertical' i.e. a running start.
Just in case we're comparing apples to oranges.
Kinda looks like Frank is doing the full court sales press right now after Luka had to pull out of the combine and tested poorly in the drills. I wish the big guy the best and hope at least one team looks at him as a a unique individual, who can't be summed up by workout numbers.
Yes, I realize that. They measure both but any discussion in reference to vertical I just assume is using standing. I failed to notice the "max" part.
Clearly anyone who's watched any basketball could see JW is not a 42 inch vert guy. Thus my skepticism of the number.
yeah, its a shame Luka was not able to shine in those 2 scrimmages
Almost wonder now if coming back to college for his last year would be his best move? Maybe solidify a 1st round pick and move up a little higher in the round? He could end up being one of the top shooting guards available. I think that would be better than being a 2nd rounder this year but at least he is proving a lot of people wrong. Good to see.
Lol, that is the worst decision he could make
Unfortunately, no. His stock will not improve with another year at Iowa. Joe needs to strike while the iron's hot.
