The senior guard has become more of a distributor, which has coincided with the Trojans’ recent success going into Thursday’s game at Oregon
LOS ANGELES — Through his first season at USC, Boogie Ellis developed a reputation for being an isolation player. When the ball reached his hands, Ellis was more likely to dribble and try to create a shot for himself than initiate the offense.
But with a different roster construction and evolving needs across the 2022-23 season, Ellis has focused on his passing. The past four games, the senior guard has distributed 19 assists with just five turnovers, one of the best passing stretches of his career. Ellis’ 2.9 assists per game are a career high, if not eye grabbing. But the number has gone up at 4.3 across USC’s past seven games, in which the Trojans are 6-1. The lone loss: at Arizona, in which Ellis only had two assists.
Ellis credits increased film work for his improvement in the area, saying that it led him from a no-assist, five-turnover performance in USC’s first game against UCLA to a six-assist, no-turnover showing in the rematch.
