Melvin Ely

Hey this guy for the pass couple of weeks has been asking for a trade....

spurs should give him a look....

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

He'd kick ass in the Spurs but what package could we put together for him?

[Kori Ellis]

I think they just want a pick for him.

I think they just want a pick for him.

The question is "how high of a pick?" One of the reasons stated why McInnis was traded for Robinson and not Ely was that the Bobcats had asked for a first-rounder in return. Don't know how true it was, but I think anything more than a second rounder + Williams (to make the salary match) would be too much.

I do have one more question....is he a rebounder?

[AFBlue]

Weaknesses: Desire and intensity are question marks for Ely. Must develop more intensity on the floor to maximize his talents. Has good touch around the basket, but scores a lot of point on putbacks and dunks. Needs to develop his offensive game more both inside and out. For his size and athleticism his rebounding ability is average.

I saw this on his draft profile, but he could have improved in the rebounding category since. I honestly haven't seen him play much.
