Henry Ellenson . 13. player. 66. <p>Marquette’s Henry Ellenson was once viewed as a potential top five pick, but his stock has slipped recently because of questions regarding his defense and the sustainability of his outside shot. The near 7-0 big man made just 28.8 percent of his three-pointers as a freshman, but his shooting stroke is promising and he entered college revered for his outside shot. He also has the ability to face up his defender and attack off the dribble by possessing a nice first step for a player his size.</p> <p>Ellenson’s defense is a question mark because of his lack of athleticism. He blocked just 4.4 percent of shots when he was on the floor at Marquette, which is a low number considering his massive size. One area where he will be useful defensively is on the glass. Ellenson grabbed a middling 11.6 rebounds per 40 minutes last season, but his 24.2 percent defensive rebound rate is a great number for a highly touted front court prospect.</p> <p>Ellenson has the physical size to play either the power forward or the center position and with Dragan Bender going to Phoenix in this scenario at the fourth pick, the Suns can establish their front court of the future as a potential potent offensive pairing who can space the floor.</p> <p><em>To read more about Henry Ellenson, <a href=.
