Is Keon Ellis The Answer?

[slightly biased bias fan]

Apparently Sacramento have made Keon Ellis available for a trade. He is a high level 3-D role player on a cheap, expiring deal.

C?s don?t need another 3&D role player. Already have Hauser, Walsh, Minott. They need a center.

The answer to what? What is the question? A fifth starter instead of Pritchard? A 20mpg bench SG? What is the role you want him to fill?

As a starting shooting guard.

Ellis has great off-ball movement, he is an elite three point shooter and an elite defender. Think Alex Caruso.

When Tatum comes back, you would have a starting five of great to elite defenders.

Prichard, Walsh, Hauser, Minott

Keon Ellis has a very cheap contract, the Celtics could trade for him and still bring in a center with the Simons contract.

I like Keon Ellis as a starter. Sort of like a mini Jordan Walsh with a more proven three point shot (42% 3PT career on near 600 attempts). A game changer defensively.

I imagine K Ellis would cost a 1st round pick.
