National basketball director of 247Sports Eric Bossi recently released a list of players who he felt were primed for a rise in the recruiting rankings. Based on the year that Wisconsin 2021 signee Chucky Hepburn has had in the state of Nebraska, it was no surprise to see the future Badger included.
He has elevated his all-around game, and Bossi feels it may soon reflect in the rankings. Hepburn has a number of tools in his toolbox, and plays both ends of the floor at high level.
You aren’t going to be completely blown away by Hepburn’s athleticism or speed, but he can certainly get up when he needs to. He doesn’t rely on playing above the rim, but this video evidence is all you need to see to know he can fly when needed:
“Uh oh, this one is going to be at the rim.” 😤@coachmiles and @allgood_eric sized up this “big time” @chuckyhepburn block which led to the “big if it goes,” @FrankieFidler_ triple. 👌

On the offensive end, he has developed into an all-around point guard who can create and elevate those around him while still getting his. Here is a deeper look at Hepburn on the offensive end from our BadgersWire scouting report:
Wisconsin is landing someone who should be ready for the Big Ten in year one and is currently playing the best basketball of his career. Don’t be surprised if the four-star PG cracks the top-100 at 247Sports soon.
