Wayne Ellington is a stud

Even if he goes back to playing inconsistent basketball he's shown a lot of potential and has thrived in his starting
Role.. Would be interesting to see if any suitors emerge
Before the trade deadline.

Trade for a first rounder

Stud? No

Lesser version of Meeks? Yes

The perimeter play who should be retained like Swaggy was last year with a commitment compared to wes and lin? **** yeah

In fact if you get a starting pg this summer, retain Ellignton to start at the SG spot like Meeks could have been retained. Then slot Kobe at SF. Let Wes go and never play Kelly at 3 again. The key then becomes figuring out where you sit with hill, your draft pick, and another serviceable big

He's drive to the basket a lot more these past 2 games, and Byron had him curling around short curls straight to the hoop against the Bulls.

he went from a spaceman catch and shoot to a well rounded player. just add minutes. no wonder scott vouched for him.

He isn't a scrub. He's a pretty nice player. He isn't a stick, so he can drive to the hoop and finish on occasion. Most players do well when they cut to the rim, and shooters like him benefit from screens that aren't often half-assed.

I don't really want him to be traded. I don't know his contract details but he's pretty nice and there aren't many two-guards with his skill that could still hypothetically improve. Unless we draft one, of course.

He also went through some **** up **** last year. Personally I didn't even want to evaluate him, considering his circumstances.

Good for him though. I've had some bad stuff happen to me in my life as well, and it makes me feel good to see him keep on keepin on.

The man has been playing possessed. It's a sight to see.

Definitely can find a home in this league as a 4th or 5th starter, or a stud off the bench.

another overreaction thread, he does well for 2 games and this? hes been avg before and hes a scrub. this goes for anyone on this team now and the past.

He's definitely a player is like to see come back next year. The problem is that he is playing so well and he is not signed for next year. He's hurting the tank and really no reason for me to root for him.

Lakers loose 9 games in a row and win 1 game out of 10, that one win might cost the Lakers there draft pick. Now onto Knicks, they are in full tank mode. So we will be winning and loosing the pick we so much need.

Hes an average player. I don't see a team that he can start it that is tanking like us.

he is a better shooter than Meeks.

Jinx thread.

He went from stud to scrub real quick.

really don't give much credit to marginal players like Ellington putting up big stats on a very bad team......its not as rare a one would think to see avg. players put up #s on bad team.

No well in hell he fetches a first rounder, not alone away. High second pick maybe, but no way he gets a first. I'm sure we could dangle him out there around the trade deadline and someone would bite.

What's your definition of a stud?
