- Offensive spark plug; now semi-respectable on defense
- 2010’s self declared 2nd Best Player in the League
- Poor Moped rider, below-average liar
Mark Cuban has again proved he knows what he’s doing so long as he doesn’t land his his first option. After failing to lure Dwight Howard with a max contract, he instead settled for Ellis, who’s quietly having a career year and currently has a higher EWA than Russell Westbrook.
Ellis can no longer be hidden on defense – so long as Jose Calderon shares the floor with him – and to his credit, he’s held himself accountable. He’s stopped pretending that always trying to steal the ball is what good defense means and his effort on that end has made his instant offense actually valuable.
Despite being 66.6% wrong about the top 3 players in the league – and including himself in the conversation – Monta’s firmly walking the road to redemption because riding a Moped is a contract violation.
