Pros: For a rookie power forward he is a beast and has the strength to battle in the paint with anybody. Both his jumpness and quickness are way above average and he could catch guys off guard with his quickness. Happy has a great skillset for a power forward, he has the potential to score, rebound, and play defence. Right now, his offence is one of the better parts of his game, he has the skill to post up and has a good jumper. Hairston is a good rebounder, especially for a rookie. He isn't going to be a starter right now, he has some assetts that could make him a deceptive role player for a team that can contribute off the bench.
Cons: Hairston is smaller then the average power forward, which isn't helped with his lanky frame. He doesn't have the reach of other forwards to get some boards. He has the ability for his defence to be better, but he is a huge liability. This could make teams bench him until he improves, if he never does he could end up being a bust.
Overall: Happy has a lot more pros then cons in his game. Hairston's skillset is very good and if he develops he could be a fringe starter to a great role player. His biggest weakness is his defence, which could really hurt his draft stock. However, looking at his potential and how gifted he is athletically, Hairston could be a great steal.
Pick Projection: 13-20
