When Henry Ellenson announced he was leaving after his freshman year at Marquette to enter the 2016 NBA Draft, his vision hardly included minimal playing time in his third season.
“Obviously I want to be playing minutes up in Detroit and helping our team win,” Ellenson said as he prepared for the Detroit Pistons’ game earlier this month against the Milwaukee Bucks.
But Ellenson has grown accustomed to the new normal, playing in only two of the Pistons’ first 32 games this season.
“It wasn’t (what I was expecting), but it’s what my journey is,” Ellenson said.
