ellis is not a good teammate nor does he have decent basketball IQ,bad shot selection,bad defender.he is a talent but would hurt the development of our players since he doesnt pass the ball
I'm a dubs fan so I'll give you guys my brief insights
Not a good teammate? Agree. He's quiet and selfish a majority of the time. He has an ego which all showed when he became the 1st scoring option.
Decent basketball IQ? I believe he has the IQ, but again, when he became the 1st scoring option (when baron left) he became selfish and yeah, the IQ dropped.
Bad shot selection? Agree. When he was a 2nd,3rd option his shot selection was great. Shot over .500 (mainly driving and less jump shooting). When he became the #1 scoring option he ball hogged, shot more jumpers then lay ups and started chucking 3s (not as bad as harrington though). He can get on fire but he's not helping his team get "in the zone".
Bad defender? Depends, but I guess agree. He can defend when he wants to defend (against Roy and Bryant) but the problem is he chooses when to defend (a majority of the time he doesn't)
The last part I agree with based on what you said. Knicks are better off getting someone better later on.
