Keon Ellis has more upside than people give him credit for.

 

[hrdboild]

Keegan shrinking and shrinking when he’s needed stinks. I still think he pulls out of it, but dang man I was hoping for a third year jump.

This mini schedule break is going to be huge. Injuries just too much to handle!

Look, to be fair (and I hope I don't get accused of coddling) Keegan has only shrunk as a scorer. In every other way he's continued to improve and he has continued to step up big-time both as an individual/team defender and as a rebounder. He's also improved as a playmaker while maintaining a turnover rate which is among the best in the league for high minute players. Obviously we'd love for him to return to college form as a high volume scorer in addition to all of that but we're less than 1/4 of the way through his 3rd season and until very recently he's been the 4th (and sometimes 5th, when Monk is rolling) option on the floor... so a bit of leeway in adjusting to his changing role seems warranted.

His aggressiveness as a scorer does go up when he sees the ball go in the net so maybe the solution here is to run more plays for him early in the game?

Like we’ve been saying all year, Keon Ellis is an offensive juggernaut.

((There is zero reason this guy shouldn’t be starting and getting big minutes btw))

No argument here. He's doing a great job defensively.

Plus hey, one of us gotta be the coddling one... lol

Bro, Keon hitting a snatch back over Daniels? Are you kidding me?

If Keegan actually cared about that record, which I doubt he does, he'd be sweating right now, haha.

Keon Ellis-en fuego

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

So, is this going to be like some kind of Daxamite thing, where only one King is capable of hitting threes in any given game?

He's got that in him. Just needs the reps for confidence

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Roddy snaps his head back for cheap foul then gets away with a murder on the other end.

 

[Sluggah]

Using the whole damn roster

 

[Tetsujin]

Holy crap our guys can’t freaking miss haha

 

[coolhandluke]

The Hawks never planned on our 3-point shot reverting to mean

 

[iowamcnabb]

Mike is pumped!

Everybody not named Keon is currently 6-12, which I would take any day of the week

Whats up with all these comic book references recently?

 

[TaxMan]

This has escalated quickly.

 

[The_Jamal]

Now, don't forget how to shoot when all the other dudes come back!

This is fun

 

[Caccia]

Has Keon show himself to be worthy of starting of late?

What was your question, again?

League pass randomly showing the Tyreke miracle and following it up with the Webber game winner against Denver.
