Makes second exhibition start Ellis had 12 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 27 minutes in Friday's 81-77 charity exhibition victory over Purdue. Impact Few can re-tool via the transfer portal like Eric Musselman and the Arkansas Razorbacks, and that fact left Ellis with plenty of competition for the starting shooting guard spot. If the exhibition box scores are any indication of his role this season, however, Ellis appears to have the upper hand on Temple transfer Khalif Battle, though Battle did score 12 as well here across 32 minutes off the bench. Fortunately, the projected tempo of the Arkansas offense means there should be plenty of shot-making opportunities to go around.
