Ellegood went from being the sophomore wheel man for a veteran title team to the engine for a young squad that had to scrap for every; and he did it eloquently. Ellegood was lightning in a bottle on defense the way he energetically hounded whoever he was guarding and forcing turnovers. Offensively, he devastated teams off-the-dribble, often dashing into the lane then pulling up for two before the help could collapse on him. Ellegood also threatened the defense off-the-catch, curling off of screens for three or, when his man went over, blitzing into the paint for rim attempts.
