Tom Izzo reveals just how big Michigan State’s newest center’s role could be

Tom Izzo must have liked what he saw from transfer center Szymon Zapala during the Spartans’ trip to Poland. Zapala, who made just 24 starts in 35 games for Longwood last season, had been expected by most to serve as a backup for the Spartans this season, perhaps someone who could be used for his size in key defensive matchups. It seems, however, that Izzo could have bigger plans for the 7-foot fifth-year.
