Ellie turned in a First Team performance at the P2W Headliners Invitational Showcase in October, and she was one of the top prospects in the gym again in her second appearance. Ellie used sound technique to sell the shot fake in drills and finished with a balanced step-through on her layups. She was on fire during the three-point shooting station. Ellie shot the ball confidently with her feet balanced on the catch and shredded nylon from the corner and up top. She continued to excel during games for Team Lynx. Ellie penetrated gaps with her dribble, leading to fouls and wide-open looks for teammates. She had a multidimensional impact as a facilitator, slasher, and perimeter scorer. Ellie took a steal the other way with pace for a breakaway layup and buried multiple threes from the wing with confidence off the hop. She worked hard to secure rebounds on both ends and dribbled with tempo, switching hands to create transition points. Ellie threaded a pass up the court through a key-sized window that showed exactly how confident she is as a facilitator. Her long skips in transition, kickouts, and dump-offs after dribble penetration resulted in many assists. She had an impressive all-around performance at the showcase and will be an instant program changer on day one of her high school career.
