Everyone saying ellis is a huge defensive lost is uhhh wrong.
Very poor rim protector. Soft. Average rebounder.

This is the same thing coach said " I feel so bad for the guys" after a loss and got hammered for it.

Haha it's a little different when it's a career ending loss. A random AAC game when guys make stupid mistakes, I've personally hammered him for that. And I will again.
99% of the time it felt like if the ball was near Ellis in the paint, it ended up at his feet as the other team scrambled to take it away.

How he would flail like wacky waving inflatable tube man at the ball, bringing about goaltend after goaltend
There's been a ton of speculation about Kyle Washington and what he might or might not bring to the table, but from what I can tell he could easily be the most skilled big man we've had at UC in a long time. Versatile and tough as well. Showed up biggest against some of the toughest competition. Smart kid. I think he could be a major upgrade over Ellis.
Throw in Cumberland, Clark, and the Jacob Evans we saw late in the year and I get excited about a team that has some basketball skill and IQ.

Not this time. Ellis was average on defense. Could have been great. Washington could potentially be better and I think Clark already is better.

I think it depends on the player. Troy played something like 56 minutes against UCONN without a turnover. Fatigue wasn't an issue for him. Mick said that Gary could use to improve that in the offseason. I think it depends on the player.

I believe this is also why didn't see more of Deberry on a regular basis

Mike Rehfeldt said on Twitter last night, after someone mention Gary's weight needs to go up, that Gary has put on about 20 lbs but his conditioning and footwork need to improve. Let's hope that goes for the whole team.

Really, that's all you got? What am I wrong about? Gary being better? Coaches voted him DPOY, so they'd agree with me. Washington having a chance to be better? Doubt it considering his work ethic which Ellis did not have.

Clark doesn't need to put on another pound. He can do anything a big guy should be able to do at his current weight. The footwork and cardio talk is music to my ears.

Frying other fish right now Mr. Longhaul. Your assertion that Ellis doesn't work hard is ridiculous. I have heard from people who know your mistaken. Never said Gary wasn't a very good defensive player. We were very good as a defensive team. Check out our ranking. Lot of that was Ellis length in the middle. I guess will agree to disagree. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.
