Okay, and Ellis was a better shooter, more efficient scorer, and got his hands on a lot more balls in play in the form of steals rather than blocking shots. Why did you gloss over those numbers?
And saying GW was "far better at rebounding" is considerably overstating your position.
Williams:
15.7 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 2.1 apg, 1.5 bpg, 0.9 spg 54% 2 pt FG%, 75.8 FT%
Ellis:
17.5 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 0.9 apg, 0.3 bpg, 1.3 spg, 59.5% FG, 76.5% FT%
And this takes into account Ellis' freshman season when he wasn't the focal point of the team and only played about 20 mpg. Those numbers go way up if you remove that season.
I didn’t gloss over Ellis being a better shooter. I plainly said he was a better scorer but it’s also clear Williams had a higher affect on the games outcome that Ellis did. Defense,
Rebounding and distributing the ball are damn sure Important when it comes to wins and losses and Ellis was very very poor in the blocks and assist department. He was a solid rebounder but not as a good as williams
