Andy Ellis is a skilled, high-production Texas Tech big with old-school toughness
In the 2001-02 season, Texas Tech center Andy Ellis was a steady paint presence at 6-11, averaging 16.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks while shooting 50.8% from the field[1]. He also showed uncommon touch for a big man with 51.1% shooting from three in that stat line, suggesting a versatile inside-out game[1]. Texas Tech and other profiles describe him as an All-Big 12-level player, a former All-Freshman honoree, and a veteran scorer who battled through contact and even a tailbone bruise without backing off[3][4]. If your team wants a tough, productive center with proven scoring feel and rebound/defense value, he’s a very interesting fit[1][3].
