More former Wisconsin Badgers are making their way into the NBA.

After John Tonje was drafted by the Utah Jazz, Steven Crowl joined him on an Exhibit-10 contract.

Now, the latest former Badger to make it official is Chucky Hepburn, who signed a two-way deal with the Toronto Raptors.

Hepburn spent his first three seasons at Wisconsin before transferring to Louisville for his final year.

It paid off with a career-high 16.4 points and 5.8 assists per game, but he missed out on a Big Ten championship game run with in Madison.

He joins a Raptors team that just parted ways with team president Masai Ujiri after a 30-52 finish this season.

Hepburn will compete to backup point guard Immanuel Quickley, although the two-way nature of his contract suggests he'll spend a lot of time developing in the G-League.
