Phoenix Suns second round power forward prospects
6. Ethan Happ – Wisconsin/From Illinois (6-10 235, 21-years-old)
Ethan was named 1st team All Big Ten for his solid all around season where he made 53% of his shots scoring 17.9 points per game to go with 8 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks. He does a little bit of everything and frankly to put it nicely the Suns could use a little bit of everything on their team. Those season numbers of his stayed course when facing off against ranked teams and his scoring went up to 20 points per match. Ask #21 Baylor if he’s any good. He posted 23 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks against them. You don’t find too many players at his position with an all-around game like he has. His father and uncle were big sports guys and shed their passion, skills and competitiveness onto him. A serious growth spurt helped also. He was 6-foot-2 as a freshman in high school, 6-foot-6 as a sophomore, 6-foot-8 when he enrolled at the University of Wisconsin and grew two more inches there into the 6-foot-10 prospect teams see today. That explains why he plays the way he does. He learned the game as a guard and grew into the body he has now.
