OSHKOSH. Wis. (WGBA) -- The next time the Wisconsin Herd tips off will be at the 2019 NBA G-League Winter Showcase. This year, the annual tournament will not only give players from all 28 G-League teams a chance to shine in front of NBA executives, but it will also give the Herd and three other teams a chance to win $100,000.
"The showcase is always an opportunity when you have most of the league out there watching all the games," Herd head coach Chase Buford said. "Every team feels that and it's a chance to show other people what they can do."
"This is a life changing event right here," Herd guard Shannon Bogues told NBC26. "You can go out there and change your life just by playing in this showcase."
"The competition is going to be crazy because everybody wants that money," Herd forward Leon Gilmore said. "It's going to be a good competitive experience."
The Herd, which has won 13 of its last 14 games, will play the Salt Lake City Stars on Friday at 7:00 p.m.
