While Ellis excelled as an individual, shooting 41% from the field and 32% from beyond the arc to bolster his scoring, the Cardinals team surrounding the point guard was in shambles as it finished the campaign at just 4-28 with a 2-18 conference record. This likely played a big role in the point guard’s decision to transfer, along with the team’s recent addition of former five-star prospect Skyy Clark.
Given his great scoring ability and high-level efficiency, Ellis will be a popular player in the transfer portal this offseason. With that in mind, here are five potential landing spots for the high-scoring point guard.
