Profile:
Ulis is the younger brother of Sacramento Kings point guard Tyler Ulis. This kid is a star in his own right. The lead guard can flat out go! Makes other around him better with his advanced basketball IQ and feel for the game. Excellent distributor who can also score it in bunches! The senior showed well with Meanstreets in the Nike EYBL holding his own against the best of the best nationally helping him earn an array of offers. He ultimately chose to attend Iowa where he will be the Hawkeyes lead guard of the future.
Odds to Win:
15/1
Why He Can Win:
Ulis has name recognition not only with his brother, but he has been a star in the south suburbs the past two seasons leading Marian Catholic. He will be in a competitive conference, but still should manage to rack up wins while posting quality numbers. This is the kind of player that we could see racking up some big wins early and building a buzz heading into the second half of the season. He plays an entertaining brand of basketball too!
Obstacles to Win:
With so many quality guards around the Chicago area will he get lost in the shuffle? He might have to come from behind to catch some of the preseason favorites.
