Perry Ellis??

Sounds about right. Ellis is the ultimate tweener. He might be able to stick on a roster as a role player somewhere but he's too small to be a legit PF and not athletic enough to be a wing that plays much. Being good in college isn't a guarantee of making the NBA.

Perry isn't a tweener because he sucks at dribbling and passing. And most college teams just let him take a dribble and shoot an awkward 3, so he's not a "tweener" in the Stretch 4 sense. Not a tweener, just an undersized PF.
 
Once again the unfair and unjust NBA age-rules prevented a lad from realizing his dreams.... by preventing anybody under 19 or over 45 from entering through the draft, papa Ellis will instead be forced to the AARP-D League.
 
I hear Ellis got a gig as a spokesman for Rogaine, but after a few weeks on the job they let him go as he really couldn't regrow hair on his head.
 
Who ever thought he could play in the NBA?

He's not even fringe.

Isn't Ellis also besieged with arthritis & recovering from a broken hip after falling in the shower?

He turned down the NBA to join the real league, the Y-League in Lawrence. He'll be sporting he new set of goggles and gigantic knee pads as is the customary attire.
 
Rewind two years.....wish I would have bet some KU Homer that Nader would get his name called before Seldom or Ellis.

I was thrilled to see as many non-KU Big 12 players get drafted as there were. Draft results and tourney results for other Big 12 members is vital to continue to have the Big 12 viewed as an elite conference.
 
I feel bad for Ellis. He was an outstanding college player - a real thorn in the side of ISU - and by all accounts a good kid. I'm quite sure he never envisioned it going down like this.
