Big men finding homes inside and out in college hoops

MADISON, WISCONSIN -- His numbers and accolades prove he's America's most capable returning big man.

Last season, Wisconsin power forward Ethan Happ grabbed a spot on the Associated Press All-America squad's third team after averaging 14.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.8 steals per game.

The all-Big Ten first-teamer also finished 20th in KenPom.com's efficiency ratings for high-usage players.

But an offseason video of the junior shooting 3-pointers -- the 6-foot-10 standout did not take a 3-pointer in his first two years with the program -- sparked talk of the veteran big man evolving like the versatile incoming freshmen who will soon alter the collegiate landscape.
