Throughout his season and a half with Iowa basketball, Brady Ellingson has shown signs of the type of player Fran McCaffery hoped he would become when he recruited him out of Sussex, Wisconsin, but it has come in spurts.
Despite seeing the most consistent playing time of his young career, Ellingson’s play has still been inconsistent.
In 2015-16, Ellingson scored 20 points in the second game of the season against Coppin State. He didn’t score double-digit points the rest of the season and only topped five points eight more times. Ellingson also seemingly fell out of the rotation by the end of the year.
