Ehh, I'd disagree. If you put Grayson on that team he would average a lot more points. Allen is also a much much better athlete.

Troy Brown plays with a similar style. I'm not saying he's Paul Pierce. He has the potential to be a lesser version of Paul Pierce.
Regarding Brown/Exum, I don't think they're redundant. Exum has no mid-range game or off-the-bounce game, and asking him to guard 3s and 4s is a stretch unless he adds strength. Maybe a guard like Gilgeous-Alexander is a bit redundant with Exum, but I think even the two of them could play next to each other.
Wow, you'll never convince me that Grayson Allen is anywhere near the scorer that Jerome Robinson is.
He averaged 22 points his 2nd year in the league and has a much better shot selection profile. Robinson wont be able to drive and finish in the NBA. Grayson probably will.
I disagree with that. I think Robinson's scoring at 3 levels will translate. Robinson and Allen matched up several times in the ACC. Worth taking a look at.
Ehh, maybe.
The difference is Grayson is going to play a very similar role in the NBA as what he did at Duke.
Robinson is going to have a much harder transition. His game is going to be too reliant on difficult shot making.
One thing I see from Allen's stats is great inconsistency from game to game -- so much more than I'd expect from a player of his age. Actually, he was quite consistent as a sophomore, but as a junior and senior, he was very often feast or famine. Some of this may be due to changing teammates/role on the team. And I've heard in the past that inconsistency isn't a terrible thing for prospects. But I'd really hope for more from one of the oldest players in his area of the draft.

See any mid range game to him? I'm honestly asking I haven't see any. Just threes and finishes at the rim is a red flag to me. I like seeing guys go into the lane and mix it up, switch hands, have an arsenal of moves.

Grayson Allen is one of those guys who could be a steal in the "Tony Bradley or Kuzma range" of the late 20's. At #21, some might say it was a good spot but most would question it. On top of that, there would be added pressure if he got drafted too early. My only question on Allen is the quality of his mental strength. He seems like the kind of kid who shines when not expected to instead of shining when needed to.
I'm all for taking him late 1st early 2nd. I would applaud that move.

? The guy trips some people when he gets frustrated in the game. He does some dirty **** and loses his cool. He isnt soft or scared of the moment.
