For a strong performance during his first season on the basketball court, Wisconsin Badgers redshirt freshman Ethan Happ deserves consideration for the Big Ten Conference Freshman of the Year Award. Here’s a look at what the young player did this year for the Wisconsin basketball team.
Badgers fans have heard the story over and over this season about how Happ received advice from Frank Kaminsky to redshirt last year, and then spent the entire season playing against him and honing his skills.
As much as we may be tired of repeatedly hearing that storyline on every single broadcast of a Wisconsin basketball game, there’s no doubt Happ’s exposure to Kaminsky paid major dividends.
