LAS VEGAS -- Henry Ellenson is a true Summer League veteran, which isn’t exactly ideal for the Detroit Pistons forward and former Marquette standout. Xavier standout J. P. Macura received his first taste of professional life with jobs in hand. Marcus Derrickson faced both players during BIG EAST days. Now the former Georgetown star hopes he joins them to start his post-college journey.
Ellenson arrived in the NBA with impressive credentials for a one-year collegiate player. Freshmen don’t receive first-team All-BIG EAST honors every year. The 6-10 forward pulled off the feat in the 2015-16 season in conjunction with being selected BIG EAST Freshman of the Year.
