Attempting comeback
Ellis plans to work out privately for at least five NBA teams in Las Vegas on July 8, Jordan Schultz of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ellis boasts a robust scoring average of 17.8 points per game across 833 regular-season contests spanning 12 seasons, but the 33-year-old shooting guard hasn't played professionally since 2016-17. After two years away from the sport, Ellis is apparently healthy and eager to resume his career, though his poor efficiency from three-point range for his career (31.4 percent) could hinder his efforts to resurface as an NBA bench player. If Ellis impresses in his workouts and ultimately signs with a team, he would likely have to accept a deal with minimal guaranteed money attached to it no matter where he lands.

With Paul George entrenched as the central figure in the Pacers’ offensive attack, Ellis’ scoring took a back seat in his first season in Indiana. After averaging 18.9 points per game the year before with the Mavericks and reaching that mark in each of the preceding seven seasons, Ellis slid all the way down to 13.8 points per game in 2015-16. Ellis’ abnormally low 42.7 shooting percentage and 30.9 percent mark from three-point range contributed to his drop in scoring, but the 31-year-old also willfully took on more of a facilitator role, dropping 4.7 dimes per contest. The Pacers will bring in a new backcourt partner for Ellis this season with Jeff Teague replacing George Hill, but it’s not expected that Ellis’ role will change in a significant way. He’s still at his best when he uses his quickness to penetrate the lane, allowing the Pacers’ superior three-point shooters to find open looks. While Ellis’ fantasy stock has taken a hit with the move to Indiana and doesn’t figure to recover to its former height, he still puts up enough points, assists, steals and free throws to be an asset for fantasy owners in those categories. He’s also one of the more durable guards in the league, averaging at least 33 minutes per game and missing a grand total of three games over the last four seasons.
