Basketball season is just around the corner. To get ready for the season, we will bring you in-depth player previews for every scholarship member of the 2017-18 Northwestern Wildcats. Continuing with the series, we have forward Rapolas Ivanauskas, who missed all of last season with a shoulder injury.

Who he is

Redshirt freshman; forward; 6-foot-9; 210 pounds, Barrington, Illinois

Strengths

Ivanauskas gives Chris Collins a versatile and physical presence on the front line. He can shoot the three, but he also has the size to bang on the inside and fight for offensive rebounds.
