Just watched this guy play his first game for the Perth Wildcats in the NBL in Australia. Ennis played a mad game, dropping 25 pts in 30 minutes. Looks to be a really good scorer and shot the ball lights out. He is predicted to be in contention for the MVP of the league this year which is cool too. Just thought id pass this on as it may not be common knowledge for those living in the US (i live in Australia).

It is about half way between college distance and NBA distance.
Ennis played very well.
Good info. If James can continue shooting that well from 3 he could be a great addition, an Allen/Battier hybrid.
When looking at his college stats, measurements and athletic ability i can see a Mini Paul George. He's 2 inch shorter but actually just as long. Could turn out to be a huge steal.

Looking good. I think he's going to be a great fit. If Beasley comes around, let alone Oden, we'll really have a nice young bench developing (assuming we're able to keep the Big 3 together).
Is it me or does it look like Ennis has already added some upper body mass?

Shane or Ray is going to retire, he will probably take their spot if we don't sought after vets again, especially if the Big 3 is broken up.

The question that I'd like answered is when are the majority of his points coming?
In Summer League he was just there in the 1st halves & would start scoring in the 3rd Quarters on.

Ennis for MVP ...... in Australia
GOOOOOO WILDCATS!!!
Jokes aside, I really hope he develops at least into a Keith Askins/Bruce Bowen type.

Ennis looks like a lot more than a 3 & D player to me.
