James Ellis brings size, shooting touch, and versatile backcourt value to UCCS
James Ellis is a 6-6 senior guard for UCCS who already proved he can stretch the floor, ranking second on the team in three-point percentage in the 2023-24 season at 45.9% while averaging 4.6 points and 10 starts as a freshman.[1] In the 2024-25 season, his scoring dipped to 1.6 points per game in limited minutes, but he still flashed value with perfect free-throw shooting, plus rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks across 18 games.[1] The big selling point: size, shot-making, and enough defensive versatility to play multiple spots—exactly the kind of low-ego glue guy coaches love when they want spacing and stability.[2]
