Keon's strongest metric is FG% at 4634.9, compared to the NBA Shooting Guard median of 46.0. The biggest area for improvement is APG at 1.2, below the Shooting Guard median of 4.0.

Current Sentiment
Ellis generates cautious optimism as a potential playoff contributor despite inconsistent performance and limited role. Recent play shows flashes of defensive value but scoring inconsistency keeps him on the bench. His $2.3M contract seems reasonable, though production hasn't yet justified starter expectations. The narrative centers on whether he can finally stay healthy and develop consistency. Fans remain hopeful but skeptical given injuries and competing roster depth.
