Henry Ellenson | PF | 6’11”, 242 Ibs | Marquette

Henry Ellenson has the size, including a 7’2” wingspan, and the mechanics.  His close to mid-range jump shot has great form for a big man, he’s not bad from the free throw line, and he’s a pretty decent passer.  Ellenson is not yet strong enough to make big plays at the rim and often gets shut down by tough defenders.

Marquette has produced quality players from years, and Ellenson will be the next of this series. He would definitely be snagged by Denver’s 19th pick; therefore, if we want him we will need to snag him at 15.

Denver shows a high level of interest in him, but I’m not convinced he’s the best fit for the team.
