Starting opener Ellis is starting in Tuesday's season opener against Louisiana Tech, Mike Rodak of AL.com reports.
Impact Ellis started in seven of a possible 32 games last season during his first year at Alabama after transferring in from a Junior College program. The 6-6 guard averaged 5.5 points, four rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 steals in 17.6 minutes per game. There was speculation that five-star freshman J.D. Davison would get the starting nod but head coach Nate Oats is opting to go with some more experience in Ellis than overall potential in Davison.

Scores 21 in exhibition Ellis led the Crimson Tide with 21 points (5-11 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT) to go along with four rebounds , four steals and three assists across 37 minutes in Sunday's 73-68 exhibition...
Impact Ellis picked up the start while Jahvon Quinerly sat out due to undisclosed reasons, but given coach Nate Oats used Quinerly off the bench multiple times last year, it wouldn't be outlandish to see this starting lineup continue into non-conference play. Ellis did start seven games in 32 appearances last season, and the JUCO transfer shot a respectable 38.9 percent from beyond the arc. With last year's leading three-point shooter John Petty gone for the professional level, Ellis' contributions in this area will be much-needed for the Tide. In fact, Ellis only attempted one two-point basket in Sunday's exhibition, which may be a sign of what's to come.

Leads reserves against Florida Ellis had 16 points (5-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 86-71 victory over Florida.
Impact Ellis had his best game of the season, and it's likely no coincidence that it came when Jahvon Quinerly (not injury related) was ruled out. Mix that with some first-half foul trouble for Herb Jones, and the recipe was perfect for his highest minutes total of the year. While the playing time has increased a bit of late with four consecutive games in double-digit minutes, the production will likely continue to be inconsistent.

Back after one-game absence Ellis (illness) had two points and a rebound across nine minutes Wednesday against Providence.
Impact Ellis missed Tuesday's matchup against UNLV due to a non-COVID-related illness, but it appears he's ready to contribute in a reserve capacity for the Tide. Alabama ultimately emptied its bench in the 17-point victory, but the backcourt rotation could tighten up in the coming games, especially considering the presence of established guards like Jaden Shackelford, Javon Quinerly and John Petty.
