UW’s Leuer gained world of experience

The growth spurt Jon Leuer enjoyed last summer can?t be quantified.

He didn?t sprout 10 inches, as he did during his time at Orono (Minn.) High School before coming to Wisconsin in 2007. The 6-foot-10, 228-pound senior instead honed his game by practicing against some of the best players in the world, NBA stars who went on to win the gold medal for the United States at the FIBA World Championship in Turkey.
