    "All I want is a Shot" Mike Wilkinson

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Wilkinson is the group's most consistent scorer. He averaged 14.3 points a game at Wisconsin.
    "I had a couple of options, but Coach Sloan
    has been around a long time and I felt good about getting a chance here," Wilkinson said. "All I want is a shot - a chance to play and show people what I can do."
    With Wilkinson as its center, Wisconsin reached one Elite Eight and one Sweet 16. No player in Badger history has been a part of as many wins (93).
    "I try to do the little things," Wilkinson said. "I'm not the most athletic guy and I don't shoot the ball as well as some of these guys. But I think it's hard for anyone to say that I don't do a lot of different things fairly well."
    Forth started 136 games straight games at Syracuse, and he came to Utah from Italy for a chance to try out with the Jazz. </div>

    I think he will get a chance because Wilkinson is a team player and will be able to show what he brings to a team going 5 on 5. He's not going to blow by a player, throw down a monster dunk, or shoot the lights out from 10 feet behind the 3pt line. What he will do is jar a person's neck with a hard pick, deliver accurate passes from the high post, fight for loose balls, fight for position in the paint, and leave it on the court every game and twice on Sundays.
