Ellenson: One and Done or not?

[bilsu]

Henry has a lot of skills, but I rather see him under the basket than at the three point line. They should do everything possible to get the ball to him within 10 ft of basket and have Fischer on the opposite side of basket. They did that last year with Fischer and Taylor. Taylor had some nice passes from Fischer right at the hoop.

I'll bet $100 any poster here Henry Ellenson will not match Butch's career numbers in conference when averaged out or be a top 20 pick in the NBA draft.  Takers? 

So he has to do both for you to win.

$100 for charity and I'm in.  Please send your donation to the Ronald McDonald House of Eastern Wisconsin.

[Blackhat]

I don't like Ronald McDonald, looks like a pedophile.  Pick another cause.

[Blackhat]

I'll donate all my winnings to the NRA.   You're welcome.

[Blackhat]

I like Henry and hope he makes big improvement but there's no way I see him as even a 1st round pick right now.

[Blackhat]

No really, quick speak up...my observation was so out of line.

[GGGG]

It was. Ellenson is going to be just fine.

[Blackhat]

Brian Butch was just fine.  I'm seeing similar out of HE.

I have said since this summer , Henry will be with us for four years. I have him at a slightly higher trajectory than you do, but not significantly greater. 

[Blackhat]

It's looking like a more similar comparison may be Sam Okey.

[MU86NC]

there is no way in hell HE is going pro this year!!!

[ecompt]

Henry will need three years of college before he sits and learns for two years in the NBA. The fact that Wojo has sorrounded him with some of the worst shooters in the country won't help his cause.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

You try getting double and triple teamed because your teammates can't shoot. Sticking with my 2 year prediction.

[ChicosBailBonds]

To be fair, some of the kids that surround him were very good high school shooters.  It's early, let's see how things go.

True. But this team is not even competitive now.

Y'all just gotta take a powder break. Chit, we get our first 5 star dude in decades and people here flip 'cause he ain't Lebron's clone or on the cover of SI yet. If ya don't see the basketball ability and potential in Henry's game, even now, ya just don't know stink 'bout basketball. Ellenson farts out more skills in a day than most playas show in 4 years of college hoops, ai na?

[Goose]

Doc, you know your stuff. The kid is next level kid and let's enjoy his time here. He flat out is a player and I am pulling for him.

Yup.

[bilsu]

Henry could be like Dominic James. The longer he stays in college the more his value goes down.

Agreed that he has lots of talent. Also has lots to learn, including down low play and defense. He hangs too much on the perimeter. Down low, he should be able to score almost at will.

[MattyWarrior]

Not! He needs to learn to play as a power forward and his defense is no better than Heldts is. I don't think we need to always run the offense thru him, don't let him launch threes until he has proven he can score inside 10 feet first!

They look to me like a slow version of Wisconsin.  Farm boys from Wisconsin in need of a good "wood sheading". 

Or I could say, that to me, they look like an inexperienced Duke bench.

Only time will bell, at least they are starting from the bottom with nowhere to go but up.

[Shark]

This board becomes jscomments 2.0 when we're bad. Jesus Christ.

I'm getting a Brian Butch vibe on HE, that his ceiling may be lower than we think because of a lack of lateral quickness.  He's a worse athlete than I thought he'd be.

I don't think of him as an athlete, but rather as a basketball player.
He does not seem to me to play subconsciously, he is thinking out there and he is not quick to react. He has to play faster than he can think.  He is not yet a natural, it may come, we shall see.

The entire team needs to learn to play the game....not think the game. 

It is like trying to think thru a golf swing.  It has to happen so fast that you can't think just let it happen.
