Zion Williamson and R.J. Barrett didn’t make it to the Final Four, but they can add to their resume, as they’ll likely be the first and third picks in the NBA draft.
The Duke freshmen were named to the AP All-American team yesterday, along with Tennessee’s Grant Williams, Michigan State’s Cassius Winston and Ja Morant of Murray State.
Wisconsin senior forward Ethan Happ was named to the second team. He’s the first Badger to ever be named to multiple AP all-American teams.
The Badgers, who lost by 18 points to Oregon in the first round of the tournament, finished the season 23-11.
Happ led the Badgers in scoring, rebounds, assists and steals this season and finished second in blocks.
The 6-foot-10 forward averaged 17.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and 4.6 apg, 1.3 blocks and 1.1 steals.
Happ shot 53.1 percent from the field but just 46.6 percent from the free-throw line — the worst of his four-year career.
As for his NBA career, most mocks do not have him being drafted.
Marquette junior Markus Howard was also named to the second team.
The 5-11 guard averaged 24.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.1 steals. He shot 40.6 from deep, hitting 3.5 3-pointers. He also shot 88.7 percent from the line.
Howard is likely to be a late first-round, early second-round pick.
