Kevin McCullar Jr - Wing - Texas Tech
Gabe Brown - Wing - Michigan St
Lucas Williamson - Wing - Loyola Chicago
Jared Rhoden - Wing - Seton Hall
Julian Champagnie - Wing - St John's
Keon Ellis - Wing - Alabama
Trevion Williams - C - Purdue
Isaiah Wong - SG - Miami
Michael Foster - PF - G League Ignite
Teddy Allen - Wing - New Mexico St
Peter Kiss - Wing - Bryant
As noted above, one of the guys we've worked out is Keon Ellis. The Box and One just released their scouting report video on him:
I think this might be our guy. Love his defense, the way he really gets after it. Brad and Udoka will probably love the way he plays D. Plus he can shoot it.
Absolutely a guy to keep on the radar. Ellis looks like he could end up being like prime Bruce Bowen except more athletic. And for those younger fans, prime Bruce Bowen is one of the greatest role players of all time.
Plus he's a senior so while maybe lower ceiling, he's a guy who won't need a ton of development. He's pretty much plug and play, ready to come in and contribute right away. If we take Ellis, Nesmith better watch out..
My top 3 favorite guys right now out of the ones we've worked out (in no order) are Ellis, Gabe Brown and McCullar. Really like all 3 of these guys. Hell, I like Williamson, Rhoden and Champagnie too. Brad and his staff know what they're doing!
