Assessing Ethan Happ’s draft stock as his UW career nears its end

There’s a saying that you don’t know what you have until it’s gone. A prime example of this in action resonates with the career of Wisconsin legend Ethan Happ.

Happ began playing at Wisconsin just one year removed from the team’s National Championship Game appearance with many expecting him to lead the Badgers back to that stage. Now, with his college career nearing an end in the absence of a deep NCAA tournament run, it’s time we recognize his place in Wisconsin basketball lore as one of the greatest Badgers of all time.

A three-star recruit out of Rockridge High School in Taylor Ridge, Illinois, Happ redshirted his freshman year in 2014-15.
