Last season, James Ennis was an afterthought in a trade that landed Mario Chalmers. As a 6’7″ wing with a 6’11.5″ wingspan, Ennis has the tools to be a quality 3-and-D wing in this league. After a lackluster stint with the Grizzlies, he displayed 3-and-D potential with the Pelicans. Now, under former Miami Heat assistant Dave Fizdale, he is looking to prove that he deserves a spot in the rotation for a playoff contender.
