WEST POINT, N.Y. – Former Army West Point men's basketball standout Ella Ellis was selected by the Maine Red Claws in the 2015 NBA Development League Draft on Saturday evening. Ellis, a 2013 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy, earned an invite to Red Claws' training camp, which begins Monday.
Ellis was Maine's second pick of the draft and was chosen in the second round at 31st overall. The Red Claws serve as the minor league affiliate of the NBA's Boston Celtics and are one of 19 D-League teams, who each have a direct association to an NBA franchise.
Ellis graduated as Army's fifth all-time leading scorer with 1,585 career points. He is the only player in Academy history to amass at least 1,500 points, 450 rebounds (466), 150 assists (161) and 40 blocked shots (45). Ellis was Army's first two-time member of the All-Patriot League First Team since 1996 and captured second-team All-NABC District 13 honors in consecutive seasons, a program first since all-time leading scorer Kevin Houston (1986-87).
Maine begins its 50-game 2015-16 schedule on Nov. 12 against the Westchester Knicks at Westchester County Center in White Plains, N.Y.
