You don't think ANY of that has to do with the fact that he got by on superior talent in a weak high school basketball state and then went to a college powerhouse? Really? That shit you just named: trouble with catching & holding onto the ball, stronger players taking the ball, confidence in what he is doing, is no longer the best player on the court by a mile....that is the definition of a freshman.
Ellis will be fine. Will he turn into a great KU player? No idea. But I'm sure he'll be at minimum a serviceable player for KU for at least 2 more years.
