A McDonalds All-American from Wichita, Ellis got off to a bit of a slow start on the 2013 team, playing in roughly a third of the team’s minutes and making fewer than 50 percent of his shots. His coming out party in the Big 12 tournament against Iowa State, though, foretold what was to come. Ellis was 10-12 for the game, and finished with 23 points. 1798 points later, Ellis sits 9th all time in scoring in KU history.
What’s more, he did it efficiently. Ellis finished his career shooting 51 percent on twos and 43 percent on threes, and he had a turnover rate under 15 percent every year of his career.
