Monta Ellis review from the 2005 NBA draft camp

[AC Transit]

taken from ESPN insider - sure shows you how the combines don't really mean shit.

The High Schoolers – Ellis, Webster and Brandon Rush all tested terribly. That's partly because of their age and partly because guys like Ellis and Rush might not have been training for these particular tests the way some players do.

We knew that Webster was just an average athlete but Ellis was a huge shock. For an undersized two-guard to be successful in the league, he has to be long, quick and explosive. Ellis is none of the above. There's been talk that Minnesota is flirting with taking him at No. 14. It's pretty hard to justify that after seeing these numbers.

I saw it once during the Warriors/Mavs series.

He just didn't get enough run his rookie year. Kinda hard to show what you can do when you're not playing that much.
