Freshman Connor Essegian’s growth into a key starter has been the biggest revelation of an up-and-down season for the Wisconsin Badgers, as the guard has consistently grown himself into a bigger role as the year has prolonged.
Since becoming a starter in Wisconsin’s win over Penn State on January 17th, Essegian has averaged 14.2 points per game, while shooting 38.7% from three-point range, developing into one of, if not the, best scorers on the team.
How has the freshman flourished onto the scene so quickly in his Badgers’ tenure? It’s the unwavering confidence that Essegian carries with him every time he steps onto the basketball court that makes him the lethal scorer that he is.
