Henry Ellenson

Henry is serverly underrated on this site. Projecting him to get selected 30th in the 2017 draft is crazy IMO.

This guy has the size, length and mobility coupled with good offensive tools to be selected in the lottery maybe even the Top 5.

The only thing holding him back from such heights is his shakey defense which I beleive can improve based on how light he is on his feet. 

I do not agree with the Randle Comparison at all. Don’t kill me but I see a little bit of a young Pau minus the defense in him. Just the way he runs the floor and how he operates on offense.

 His skill set for a player his size is pretty intriguing. He handles the ball very well and can shoot it or make moves to beat his defender from out to the NBA 3. The thing that someone concerns me at this point in time is that he seems to view himself as more of a perimeter player than a post player. I think he needs to focus more on developing his inside game and use his perimeter skills to supplement that. He will not be playing on the wing at the next level.

Defensively, I think he could struggle somewhat. He doesn’t move his feet particularly well and is not a great quick leaper so defending the pick and roll could be problematic. He is long enough to develop into a decent shot blocker however. I can’t really think of a good comparison right now for him. I could see him being used similar to the way guys like kaminsky and olynk are but he has more natural strength then those guys.

 Saw him in HS and with the national team and thought he had an intriguing combination of mobility and ball skill for a big, but looked very erratic, impulsive with a questionable IQ. Overrated shooter IMO, in large part because his shot selection can be really poor.  He can handle the ball in the open court, pushing it up after boards but I think he falls in love with that aspect of his game and forces it too much try to show off his ball skill, kinda like a young Blatche. He does have an interesting skill set for a big but I think he needs to slow his game down and pick his spots better.  

Not feeling any of the comparisons mentioned in this thread.
