Keon Ellis's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Sacramento Kings shooting guard Keon Ellis is working with the starting group to begin training camp. Kings head coach Mike Brown sees Ellis as a starter "for now." Sacramento has a spot open in the first unit due to Kevin Huerter's (shoulder) absence. Ellis' fantasy value will get a big boost if he sticks with the starters. The 24-year-old started 21 games last season, averaging 8.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.7 steals. Ellis is mainly known as a defensive specialist, but he can contribute across the board if given enough playing time.

Sacramento Kings guard Keon Ellis is joining the starting five for the second consecutive game. This time, he'll be replacing Kevin Huerter (leg) in the starting lineup after taking Keegan Murray's spot the game before. Ellis was able to post seven points, four rebounds, two assists, three steals, and one turnover while shooting 3-for-4 from the floor and 1-for-2 from downtown. Despite getting the starting nod, Ellis is a risky streaming option for those fantasy managers who are in shallower leagues. Better options are out there for guard stats. Plus, with Murray back, that will likely take the ball out of Ellis' hands a bit more.
