vs Pensacola

18 PTS
4 REB
4 AST
5 Potential Assist
1 Foul Assist

2 TO

1 STL

3/7 2FG
4/8 3FG
FT

  1. Being guarded by #5. Some kid going to Hofstra. So a D1 player, but not high-major. I think hofstra has been around 100 in kenpom recently.
  • At 8:10 ish he makes a nice defensive slide to stop a baseline drive. He’s definitely quick. Should be a good defender when we get him bought in.
  • He is more of a willing passer in transition than I expected. Highlights make you think he’ll put his head down and go go go with it. Doing a good job of finding the trailer for the 3
  • 34:00 … splits a double team, finds a corner shooter (who doesn’t shoot for some reason even though he’s a 40% shooter from deep).. I liked that play.
  • REALLY could use to add a floater to his game. He isn’t a great finisher but gets into the FT line/4 hole area quite well
  • I don’t know if Ellis has “star potential” per se (though it is possible with development). I think he has the chance to be a solid piece on a very, very good team is how I would describe it.
  • Makes things way too difficult for himself finishing. Never goes straight up. And when he does it’s when he hasn’t closed the gate on some. He’s got it backwards.
  • I would imagine we use him as a ballhandler vs pressure in a 2 guard line up a lot. And assuming we have a great playmaker like Jackson/Gaff/Cole, let him run off ball to get catch and shoot 3s in the ½ court--seemed to do really well with that this game. Not sure he’d thrive as the ONLY PG at our level yet… When he started playing off-ball around the 9:00 mark of the second half, he went ballistic. I think made 11 straight points for his team in 4 minutes.
  • He’s an “up” defender as I call them. He plays better defense when his team is winning or on a run.. And does a lot better at it. We all know Hurley won’t let that fly.

Shooting. Most important skill in the game.

He's also super quick, developing PG skills, and is at a high level of competition getting it done with solid %s. With only 2 years scholarship "risk" I'd think high-level JUCOs have a pretty high appeal IMO.

I really didn't realize until watching these games that JUCO down there is MUCH better than all but the cream of the crop high schools--there were NINE D1 players on that roster this season, and potentially more if some of the freshman other than Ellis commit anywhere. Unless you're talking about a Dematha, Montverde-type school you are not getting a kid who played with much more talent than that.
