Why NBA draft prospect Joe Wieskamp thinks he could be the next Duncan Robinson

Joe Wieskamp is a 6-foot-7 wing from the Iowa Hawkeyes who is seen as one of the best sharpshooting prospects in this draft class.

Wieskamp averaged 14.8 points and 6.6 rebounds per game while shooting 46.2 percent from beyond the arc this past season. He recorded a 42-inch max vertical at the 2021 NBA draft combine, the fifth-best mark among all participants. He also had the fourth-fastest lane agility time, clocking in at 10.7 seconds, among all participants as well.

The former Iowa standout discussed playing alongside the collegiate player of the year in Luka Garza, why he decided to stay in this draft class and how his game will translate to the NBA. He also told us about his fiancé and his golden retriever puppy.

Please note this interview was minorly edited in its transcript for clarity.
