Monta Ellis is continuing to play well this season. A back-up until this season, Ellis is proving that all he really needed was a chance to play. In his last 6 games (5 starts) he has averaged 19.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.5 steals. Pretty good numbers for a guy who averaged 6.8 points per game last year as a rookie. Ellis fits perfectly into Don Nelson’s style of play.
