Quick Summary

Keon Ellis, a 26-year-old guard for the Brooklyn Nets, is expected to have a significant role in the team's offense this season following his performance in preseason games. Despite struggling in the last exhibition game, Ellis attempted four shots from beyond the arc, indicating he will continue to receive shooting opportunities. His career demonstrates proficiency in perimeter shooting at over 40% accuracy and with potential increased playing time in the upcoming season opener against Charlotte Hornets, odds suggest a strong chance of making two or more three-pointers (+105 at FanDuel Sportsbook).
