Keon Ellis needs new scenery to avoid being a dud
Sacramento Kings v Cleveland Cavaliers | Jason Miller/GettyImagesKeon Ellis has everything it takes to succeed in the NBA. His lightning-quick reflexes, intelligence, and tenacity make him a solid defensive presence for the Kings.
Additionally, Ellis is a strong shooter who brings intensity to Kings' offense. He's the kind of versatile player Sacramento needs to grow and take things to the next level.
The problem is that the Kings don't seem to know what to do with him. Ellis has a huge amount of potential, but he's stuck in an unbalanced system that doesn't put him to good use. As such, a move away from Sactown might be the best way to go if things don't change.
