Alright.
Yep.
I'm not sure you're understanding the difference between "feel", "IQ", and just being good. Allen is a spazz that knows what to do, while Ingles lobs all night, executes all kinds of passes with surgical precision, hits threes on high volume and percentages, takes what the defense gives, erases other team's players routinely, and makes it look like he's not even trying.
But, whatever. I don't actually care or even know why I'm in the weeds on this topic with you.
Someone ban me.
Sick. Good find, thanks.
I love the passion and fight. Not the way he displayed it all the time.
Thankfully this is Utah and not Sactown. We have a strong FO, coaching staff, locker room and fan base. If there was ever a team to direct and control said passion and fight it’s a team like the Jazz.

I’ve seen him do all these things, he was also the leader of the team the soul of his Duke teams, teammates loved and respected him to the highest degree, even with his reputation on the court, he has IT!! He has the same charisma that Joe has in the locker room, all he did was make plays at Duke. I didn’t watch many games outside of the Utes, but I did catch a few one or two Duke games over the last few years, so I’ve seen my share of Grayson Allen games, I just feel he has the ability to play beyond the sum of his parts. Just so you know, I’m not saying he’ll be Ingles, but he has that potential, and he has what it takes up stairs. It’s just a matter of will he be able to process the nba game over the next few years. Because of his athleticism and shot, he has a place in the league, but will he be more? He has the tools, all I’m saying.
He wants to win. If coach Snyder says do this instead of that, Grayson would respond. Come on, he was younger and he doesn't have issues of the court. He will be fine.
Of that I have no doubt. And part of that will the culture of strength, support and belief in him. Jazz are exactly what he needs.
This is gonna be good.

Idk if you saw his interview explanation of the meltdown he had on the bench where he was crying and punching the chair, but he said the reason he was doing that was out of frustration because he knew he messed up and he knew the repercussions of what he did. He knew it would hurt his reputation and that he would probably get suspended and that's what happened. That was his Junior year. His Senior year was incident free. So the hope is that that moment was a turning point for him.

Reality is really setting it. It was actually fun (remember this whole thing is a game), to blow up after the decision was announced. Now that you look at something the morning after you see things for what they truly are. One of the biggest things that stands out is that Donovan was the punk in their altercation. He slaps Allen!
I never though Allen being a "dirty" player was a problem to begin with. In this case our guy Donovan was being dirty. The fall to the ground didn't look like anything Grayson did.
So I come away from this thinking that both players like to get after it!
I'm just excited to see him in Summer League. I think this will all work out. He'll be a decent rotation player in the least. If he can hit his shot in the NBA he could become a fan favorite.
