Henry Ellenson made an impression in the Orlando Pro Summer League.
When most of the Marquette basketball community last saw Henry Ellenson, he was averaging a double-double during an uninspiring 2015-’16 season that turned out to be his only year in Milwaukee. The Detroit Pistons scooped Ellenson up with the 18th pick in the 2016 NBA Draft and he’s since existed on the NBA/G-League border.
Ellenson struggled to find the jump shot that was supposed to set him apart from other big men in his first year. He hit on only 36 percent of his shots from the field.
