The 3-point shot claims another victim

Ethan Happ is Wisconsin's wonderful 6-9 post player. He has as good a set of post moves as you will see in the college game today. Almost impossible to guard, and not because of superior athleticism, but because of good footwork and fundamentals. A story by CBS tells that he is trying to expand his perimeter game to include 3-point shots. I understand why. He is "only" 6-9, and at that height, in order to have a future in the pros, he probably will need to develop some perimeter skills. I hate to see it, though. We finally get a kid whose inside game is really superior, and he falls prey to the almighty three-point shot.
