Ethan Happ, Wisconsin, Returning For Senior Year

Kicking off our list is Wisconsin Junior Ethan Happ. The junior forward averaged 17.9 points and 8.0 rebounds per game this past season. Happ recently had a workout with the Detroit Pistons however, only projected to be a late second-rounder.

This is a very smart call for the 6-foot-8 forward. Another year at Wisconsin could do wonders for Happ’s game as he continue to develop and grow into his frame. The 2019 NBA Draft is full of potential future stars however, it is not as deep as 2018.

Happ’s talent, skill set, and size make him a prospect to watch in 2019.
