2025 Draft Profile - John Tonje

The Ringer - May 27th: "His ability to shoot off the bounce and off the catch has propelled him through the maze, and it’ll most likely be the thing that dictates how much further he goes. His shot will most definitely need to speed up, but this past season he splashed in 42.1 percent of his catch-and-shoot 3s and nearly 35 percent of his off-the-dribble 3s, both on sizable samples."

Kyle Boone - CBS Sports - May 23rd: "Tonje spent his sixth and final college season last year at Wisconsin and thrived for a fun Badgers offense, posting career highs in scoring, rebounding and assists. He just turned 24 and is among the older prospects in the class."

NBA Draft Room - May 22nd: "One of the smoothest jumper shooters in the draft but lacks upside."

Kevin O'Connor - Yahoo! Sports - May 12th: "Tonje will enter the NBA at age 24 with some readymade skills as an off-ball movement scorer and shooter. But his athletic ceiling and defense will determine if he’s more than just a backup."

Jeremy Woo - ESPN - March 25th: "Although Wisconsin fell to BYU in a second-round upset, Tonje's spectacular 37-point showing in that game cemented his surprise sixth-year breakout and legitimacy as a draft candidate. Despite the poor track record of 24-year-old draftees breaking through in the NBA, Tonje's strength, perimeter shooting and ability to get into the paint and to the line give him role player potential, considering the constant need for 3-point shooting role players."
