Draft Profile: Henry Ellenson

[ashes]

Henry Ellenson

Strengths: Solid scorer in the paint. Good jump shot with decent range. Takes care of the ball. Good rebounder. Good strength and decent quickness.

Weaknesses: No stocks. Defense is suspect.

Scout's Take: Ellenson has a very wide range of lottery outcomes, probably more than most in what's already shaping up as an unpredictable first round. There's no denying his talent offensively, distinguished by his mix of low-post scoring, jump shooting and ballhandling skills. The knock here is he's not an explosive athlete nor a strong lateral defender, but if you're playing him at Center, it could mitigate some of those concerns. True stretch five-men are hard to find.

Ratings: Henry Ellenson PF 6'10'' 240 20 C+ B C C B- A

Stipulations: None.

Multiple scouts have expressed concern with his lateral quickness, and in the modern game, those sorts of limitations can make it hard to keep even the most talented big men on the floor
