Austin Rapp acknowledges he arrived at Wisconsin last year as a player who had been good enough to succeed even if he let some of the small on-court details slide. But he wanted to challenge himself at a higher level, to be held accountable and to develop into a more well-rounded player.

Rapp took critical steps in those areas last season, showcasing his dynamic 3-point shooting ability and improving as a defender. He enters his junior season as a more proven product and as one of the vocal leaders for the team.
