He needs to add some weight and strength to improve his finishing in the lane with contact.

Ellis is a slightly above average defensively versatile wing, ranking in the 54th percentile. He excelled in switches, although he matched up out of position more often, and is better defending ball handlers. He rarely defended bigs.

This data was hand-tracked by AJ Wahl and Bryon Cook. Every single defensive possesion of each player's season was analyzed. This dataset includes all possessions when the defender is guarding on-ball, in man-to-man, and against a player not within their position group who shoots the ball, is fouled, or commits a turnover. The percentile listed above is a players standing compared to their postion group calculated by compliling and weighing various different metrics derrived from the hand-tracked data. This data only measures a portion of a player's impact, but it is clear that the ability to defend out of one's position group is a vital skill to contributing to winning basketball at the professional level.
