Wayne Ellington Makes Most of New Role
Posted Jan 31, 2015
For most of this season, Wayne Ellington has been used nearly exclusively as a spot-up shooter. Before Kobe Bryant went down with a torn rotator cuff, 41.2 percent of Ellington’s shots were catch-and-shoot attempts. But since Ellington has filled Bryant’s role as the Lakers’ starting shooting guard, he has greatly altered his game, becoming the team’s top scoring option in the process.
