A basketball player who was born, bred and learnt the game in Sheffield could be an NBA player by the end of the week.
Quinn Ellis, a 21-year-old point guard who is currently playing professionally in the top league in Italy, has declared himself eligible for the NBA draft. He has spent the last few weeks on a whirlwind tour of the United States, being hosted for workouts at 15 of the 30 teams in North America’s world renowned league.
“I’ve said to him if it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t happen, but he’s living his best life and really enjoying working out with teams in the top league in the world,” said Vanessa, who first introduced her son to the family game playing in mixed teams with the Hatters. “He’s happy, which is the main thing, even if he says he’s never been as tired in his life, because he’s been all over America, from Portland to Brooklyn to Miami.
