Scouting report: Wisconsin Badgers transfer wing Eian Elmer
A closer look at Eian Elmer’s shooting profile, efficiency, advanced analytics, and how he fits into Wisconsin basketball’s system.
If you want to understand why Wisconsin men’s basketball targeted Eian Elmer, you have to start with how this offense is built to function.
Because not all spacing is created equal.
That’s where Elmer separates himself from a typical transfer portal addition. This signing wasn’t just a move to add a perimeter option. This was a targeted addition that aligns with what this staff values offensively and what they believe translates to winning games in their system.
Start with what you already know.
Elmer averaged 12.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game last season at Miami (OH), doing it on 49.8% shooting from the field and 42.9% from three on volume. He attempted 285 shots, with 168 of them coming from three, meaning nearly 59% of his looks came from behind the arc.
That’s a clear identity.
