Additional Information
Can jump, run and block shots, and probably made a good decision pulling out of the draft last year. Ely can also score some and impressed scouts with good work at the U.S. Basketball trials in Colorado Springs. Some compare him to Alvin Jones, the Georgia Tech center taken by the Sixers at the end of the first round last year. "Alvin is bigger," says an Atlantic scout. "Ely is a much better instinctive player."
