Ethan Happ's early season performances show tantalizing potential

While he is still struggling with freshman mistakes, forward Ethan Happ has all the tools to develop into a dominant interior presence for the Wisconsin Badgers.

Ethan Happ's performance on Wednesday night on the road against No. 14 Syracuse flicked a switch for me. Watching him fight for every rebound on both sides of the court, it was as if Happ played as a dominating senior and had reached the pinnacle of Bo Ryan's stellar development system. He had 10 defensive rebounds and five boards on the offensive end. Remember this is a 6-9, 230-pound power forward in his first year playing at the college level.
