Keep an eye on Nate Reuvers

John Leuer, Jared Berggren, Frank Kaminsky, Ethan Happ. Wisconsin has had a long run of good big men who just happened to be white. You might call him the Head SWK. The current holder of the title is Ethan Happ, who does everything well - except shoot. Nate Reuvers looks to be his successor at the center spot for the Badgers. The 6-11 sophomore has started every game this year, but is playing in the considerable shadow of Happ, who averages a double/double. Reuvers gets 8.5 points and 3.4 rebounds per game, but expect those numbers to go up considerably after Happ is gone next season. Reuvers also leads the team with 49 blocks. We shall see how he does, but expect that he will be another in a lengthening tradition of fundamentally-sound Badger big men.
