81. . PF/C. Marquette. Henry Ellenson. 9. player

Height: 6-11.5
Weight: 242 pounds
Wingspan: 7-2.25
DOB: 01/13/97

Because of where he was playing and the overall lack of success of the team that he was a part of, you might not have heard many people talk about Henry Ellenson over the college basketball season. However, if you were in tune with the Marquette Golden Eagles or the Big East, you’d know that this kid absolute tore it up in his freshman season and is an interesting prospect for the modern NBA.

Ellenson has legit size as a power forward as he measured just under 7-0 and has a solid wingspan and length to go with it. He has a strong frame, though he might need to cut down his body fat slightly moving into the NBA. That being said, the 19-year-old put up 17 points, 9.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.5 blocks per game for the Golden Eagles last season. The big issue was him shooting only 44.6 percent from the floor and only 28.8 percent on his 3.2 threes per game while also not being that athletic.

Even still, the big man has a nice stroke and could be molded into a player that can stretch the floor, but also get buckets and boards on the interior. I love him for a team like the Raptors that not only needs depth at the four, but could also help him grow properly moving forward.

Next: No. 10 Bucks
