I don't do positional needs. My view is the traditional You grab the best guy you have with the pick available and figure out the rest later one. Picking for need is how you end up drafting a PF project with no physical upside rather than Jimmy Butler ( ). That being said I have Ellenson in my second tier. If Boston were, god forbid, drafting in the 6-10 range he'd move to the top of the board.
I looooove the hands on Ellenson, and I like the way he finishes through contact. He's also quick enough to defend out on the perimeter, and big enough to play some center in the new smallball NBA. I would probably put him above Bender, but that might be the Marquette fanboydom combined with my traditional ignorance of Euroleague players.
