The night before the NBA Draft - where does Ellenson go?UPDATE; Ellenson was picked 18th by the Detroit Pistons. DraftExpress had picked him 18th yesterday afternoon. DraftExpress also predicted the Milwaukee Bucks would take Thon Maker at 10.
The NBA will conduct its annual draft tomorrow as 60 players from around the world will be selected for an opportunity to play in the NBA. Marquette's Henry Ellenson is a sure fire first round pick, but whether he is a sure fire lottery pick now has some experts uncertain. Last month we interviewed Jonathan Givony, founder of DraftExpress, for his predictions. Since that meeting, DraftExpress has had Ellenson move up a bit, but recently slipping all the way to number 18. They caution that the prediction ultimately could change based on a number of unknown variables, a trade, a team misses out on a "must have" player, a last minute piece of information that causes a player's stock to drop as we saw in the NFL draft this year. Ellenson could go as high as 9 per the site.
Other publications have Ellenson also in the 7 to 21 range. Several believe he will land locally with the Milwaukee Bucks and continue his presence in Cream City. Regardless of where he is drafted, tomorrow night will be one of the most important days in his life and mark another draft choice from the Marquette basketball program.
