This man's motor is crazy. He runs hard, and is always fighting for the ball. He does all of the little things that a team can ask for. He makes plays, gets to the rim, and makes some shots. He should be prime real estate in UDFA is he isn't selected.

Keon Ellis does it all. He is a terrific catch & shoot player, can provide a ton of spacing. One of the best on ball defenders in the draft and can finish with ease. There are no major wholes. The biggest one(s) are his play making and Shot creation. Play making won’t be as much as an issue though as I don’t see him playing PG.

Weight could limit his upside as a perimeter defender at the next level
RANK
Ellis averaged 12pts and 6reb at Alabama this year. The big part that will get him drafted is hes a good defender, long arms, light and quick on feet good smart defender. Has upside to defend good point guards. Hes an excellent spot up shooter, corner specalists.He knows how to finish at the rim. converted on 60percent of attempts at the rim. Good athlete plays above the rim.Some flaws in ellis game is playmaking, needs to improve handle,to careless when passing. Self creation he also struggles at, when getting his own jump shot the shots are completely off. Cant go 1v1.Needs to improve strength, not a great frame and gets bodied becaus eof it.
