-Ellison had a statement game in a big OT win for a Loyola team looking to separate themselves from the pack in the competitive Baltimore Catholic League. Ellison operates efficiently from either elbow, facing up or backing down to hit fall-away jumpers over the defense. Ellison’s ability to draw contact in the paint earns him a ton of easy opportunities to get or stay in a rhythm throughout the game. He showed the full offensive arsenal against the Gaels: hitting the bump and lay in transition, created the contact before finishing with a floater off glass, read the passer’s eyes for a steal and spike at the other end, scored around the defense using a great pivot from the midpost to lay it off glass, hit a midpost fade-away, drilled a corner 3, and hit several face-up jumpers from the top of the key. An absolute steal for Delaware as one of the youngest prospects in his grade.

-Two dynamic performances on Saturday as a guard that can detonate above the rim at any moment while mixing in smooth shooting off the bounce from the midrange and 3 point line. The Delaware commit also showed that he can get it done defensively off the ball as a shot-blocker, collecting three in a game in a win over Hayfield. Want to see Ellison use his scoring gravity to effect the game as a play-maker this season as the leader of a Loyola team that can make some waves in the BCL.

Ellison’s skillset as an explosive finisher was fully on display in our first game watching him with 2 poster dunks in transition. His handle has improved to make him more of a threat in the open floor as a play-finisher but also in the half-court as a shot-maker OTB. While I’ve always believed in the C+S and movement shooting ability, he’s starting to take and make the right 3s OTB when defenders go under the screen or aren’t able to get around it– his balance and consistency on the load-up make those shots a much more efficient look these days. Defensively, he has improved on the ball but I believe he has the potential to be elite on and off the ball at that end– looking forward to seeing how he continues to develop heading into his senior year.
