Simmie Colson | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Ellison is “long and athletic” and if you didn’t know I call that the BASE, well you should, and watching her score however she wanted was nice because her first step to attack and finish is hard to handle, so are her putbacks, yes, she rebounds on both ends. Still, she plays the passing lane and can handle the ball afterward. Her defense was solid, plus she gave me the “catch and shoot” 3

Ellison looked good during the high school season and although I didn’t catch her during the club season, she helped “set it off” at THE EXPO see evaluation here

Ellison is “long and athletic” and if you’ve been paying attention, you know that’s the base so her timing to block, alter, and (or) deflect shots grabbed my attention years ago, and scoring around the basket. Now, she has even more intangibles, like dropping the “catch and shoot” from deep as well as going AFTA everything off the rim by elevating and coming from out of nowhere. She also defended in and outside the paint, and she blew by the defender off the dribble to score

Athletic small forward that was attacking the rim all day Sunday. On her drives she was determined to score either with a layup or draw a foul. The type of player that can make something happen to stop the other teams run. Good finisher at the goal using a side skip and her length to work around the defender. A nice tight effective spin move for the finish seemed to be the go to move when drawing contact in the paint.
Offensively she can score with the mid range, off the drive or inside with the post up. A very versatile player that could fit into any system I believe. On defense she long on the ball making it tough for entry passes. If needed she can defend the post as she has great timing for the block shots. A player that has several offers.

Ellison is sold across the board and here I go again, she’s “long and athletic” but watching her REACT on both ends, especially defensively was very nice. She played the passing lane, she scored off the dribble and rebounded strongly
