Class 2014 Player Profile: Chance Ellis

Name: Chance Ellis

AAU Team: Starrett City

Position: Forward

Height: 6’3


Strengths: Ellis has good size for his position. He has a long wingspan and a high basketball IQ. He also strokes the rock better than most in the country. Once his feet gets set he usually knocks down the open shot. Finally, I like the way he performs in pressure situations. He wants the rock and will deliver whenever his team needs the win.

Areas Of Improvement: On the next level Ellis will have to develop his foot speed, ball handling and athleticism. Improved foot speed will help him move better on defense and allow him to explode to the basket. In high school defenses will force him to put the rock on the floor so improved ball handling will help him in this development. Finally, improved athleticism will help Ellis rebound and finish off plays on the next level.
