Ellingson..a little John Stockton maybe?

You guys might wanna put your reading glasses on. Nowhere did i said he was equal to Stockton. I said there might be a glimpses of BE game that could be compared to Stocktons. Just my opinion.
I actually see what you are getting at.

As the first, and seemingly for a while only, member of the Brady Ellingson fan club (post history doesn't lie!), I have always loved his court savvy.

Similar to Stockton he only shoots when it is a good shot. Similar to Stockton he makes really good passes that are solid with very little flair. From those two angles they are similar. Similar to Stockton he is really good without the ball.

From there, the similarities are few; still, the above attributes are why he has been so effective.
 
Assuming Brady continues to demonstrate a double digit average and giving out 3-4 assists over the rest of the season he should be the guy that takes Jok's spot in the starting line up next season. Moss is also a good free throw shooter. Very hard to foul our guards. All three have shown more than flashes of great shooting. Those three guys running around the perimeter will ensure single coverage on the Hawks inside guys. Fascinating to see how these young guys play out the schedule. Even more so how they play out next season.

Ellingson's shooting, if it stays hot, will also keep him on the floor, just too valuable a weapon to spend much time on the pine.
