Ellenson poised to lead Marquette as a freshman
Some of the best basketball programs in America wanted Henry Ellenson, but he decided to sign with Marquette back in October of 2014. Now he looks to bring the Golden Eagles back to the NCAA Tournament.
The Golden Eagles finished ninth in the Big East last season, which was a rare down year for them. Ellenson averaged 27.2 points, 12.0 rebounds, 2.7 blocks and 1.8 assists per game as a senior, and if he can put up about half of those numbers at Marquette, his new team will be much better for it.
The number one aspect of Ellenson’s game that scouts rave about is his pick and pop ability. Ellenson is 6-foot-10, but can shoot the three as well as any player that he will face in college basketball this season. With a wide body and strong presence, Ellenson can also post up anyone in the game and is very athletic around the rim.
