8. Henry Ellenson, F, Marquette
Marquette’s Henry Ellenson is one of the most intriguing prospects in this year’s NBA Draft. He’s also one of the most skilled offensive players in the field. At 6-foot-10, Ellenson has the ability to rebound the basketball and then push it up the court himself.
He’s got a great basketball mind and always seems to make the right decision with the ball.
With all that said, at his size, he leaves a lot to be desired on the defensive end. But that shouldn’t be surprising for a Freshman. His lateral quickness is also a concern, especially when making the jump from college to the NBA.
Still, his potential as a playmaker and scorer on the offensive side of the ball should be enough for him to be a lottery pick. You kind of roll the dice, hoping that he can polish his defense.
