Frank Kaminsky has lofty goals for his senior season at Wisconsin and he explained his decision to pass up the NBA in a recent blog post.

Kaminsky, a 21-year-old Ill. Native, said it is his dream to play in the NBA, specifically for the Chicago Bulls. However, he did not feel like turning pro right now could compare to the excitement of playing for the Wisconsin Badgers.

"It has always been a dream of mine. I can't tell you how many times I have thought about being in the NBA. But playing in college made me realize something. Something important," he wrote. "I am at the pinnacle of my basketball playing career, at least in my eyes. I know the NBA has their crazy fans and all, but if you look at all of their games, there are games when teams like the Bobcats get hardly any fans, and it looks flat out boring. At the Kohl Center, we play in front of nearly 17,000 fans every single time we step onto the court. When we travel, we play in front of sell out crowds who absolutely hate us. Not because of who is on the team, but because of where we go to school."

Kaminsky may have made the right choice, especially since he included in his post his desire to finish his degree, which he noted was "free of charge." A seven-foot center, Kaminsky averaged 13 points and six rebounds per game last year. He broke out in the postseason, scoring 19 against Oregon, 19 against Baylor and then 28 against Arizona.

He helped Wisconsin reach the Final Four and another season in college could help him improve his draft stock even more. As he displayed in the tournament, Kaminsky shows great potential as a sharp-shooting big man, but he will need to improve his rebounding to attract NBA evaluators. Even Dirk Nowitzki, one of the NBA's greatest all-time sharp-shooting big men, averages eight rebounds per game in a 16-year career.

Wisconsin only lost senior guard Ben Brust, so they could realistically make another tournament run.

"I want to say that I love this place. I am exactly where I need to be," Kaminsky wrote. "The University of Wisconsin has provided me with an opportunity to be the best I can be. So why not provide the University of Wisconsin with the best basketball team that has stepped foot on this campus?"
