Chase Ellis has performed impressively the past few years
with the framework of the team concept.
You can clearly see his analytical approach to the game; Ellis not only respects
the game he respect the process. You can
always count on Ellis making the right play, the right pass, and giving maximum
effort not just every game but every possession.
As a person, if rankings were listed for this aspect we are
talking about the #1 kid in the nation.
Out of Georgia Ellis is the most respectful and coachable players we
have seen on the circuit. The consummate
teammate his approach to the team concept, game preparation, and on court in
game actions is pro-like – he doesn’t come to play he comes to take care of
business. There are no smiles, no
playing around, he takes the game serious and it shows.
For many the appreciation of Ellis game hasn’t received its
full due; as many have questioned if he is a product of a system versus being independently
talented and skilled. Ellis arrived at
the Basketball Spotlight Future Phenom Camp with an extensive resume but still
had much to prove as a independent player taking the floor with the most
talented players in the country without a system or teammates familiar with
what he does, where he wants the ball, and where he will be.
What ensured was beyond impressive as the 6’4 Forward from
the “Dirty Dirty” showed that he doesn’t just bring a lot to the table – Ellis brings
the darn table. Chase has become that prototypical
4/3 that has coaches and scouts alike intrigued about his potential. He is the
latest example of the saying, "it's not where you start off, it’s where
you end up." His frame oozes potential with extremely long arms and he is
country strong which allows him to power through contact and finish on the
glass.
We liken Chase Ellis to current Villanova forward Kris
Jenkins, who is a similar type player; Chase is also an excellent rebounder who
combines great feet and hands and welcomes contact. He'll knock down the perimeter
shot but his bread and butter is 15-feet and in where he is lethal. Very solid
off the catch and shoot; we were also impressed by his ability to put the ball
on the floor and how well he ran and finished in transition.
