This is why I'll never miss Grayson Allen

Legal screens don't evolve holding someone with your arm. It's a smart screen and Allen over reacted, but fighting through and pushing off the hold is just a foul. The guy did a great job selling it too.

Fine. Maybe the screen wasn't legal. That doesn't mean the blatant push to the head isn't a flagrant. And you certainly can't argue it's not a pattern with him.

He over reacts and it's a pattern. He was frustrated and tried to push the guy off him, but I don't think he targeted the guy's head. He let's his emotions get the best of him, but I still think it's just a common foul. I do get why he's being monitored though so really it is whatever.

It bums me out. In a lot of moments I like Grayson. Realistically he's probably a fringe NBA guy who may have the talent to stick, I hope for him it doesn't derail his career.
 
There was a thread about Grayson on another website and I counted 15 people who made negative comments about his face. People seem to hate his face. It seems like both Grayson and his critics are in the throws of something psychological and I'm slightly intrigued.

Not many fringe guys can score 40 plus during their rookie year while getting very few minutes imo.

I think he's an NBA player and can have a 10 year plus career in the NBA. He's just got to dump the bitching attitude.
 
Once a prick, always a prick. I excoriated Lindsey for making the pick. Almost anyone available at that point would have been a better choice. But at least the ******* is not the Jazz' problem anymore. Glad Dennis could dump Allen on Memphis and keep the dead guy.

I hated the pick. Tried to talk myself into it after they took him. Can’t say I’m going to miss him at all. Still would’ve either traded up for Heuter or stayed put and drafted Simons. Those were the two guys that I thought would be within reach.

Allen is going to get wrecked at some point. The play by play guys mentioned that you can’t be sneaky if you want to do that. Go toe to toe and I’ll respect it.

Hate the pick. I'm sure he would still be available in the second round. What a waste of asset by drafting him at 23.

1, that wasn't a NBA game. More of a G leaguer showcase.
2, he got to 40 pt on poor efficiency.
3, he won't have much of a NBA career at all if he doesn't pick up his defense.

Wait, what? Are you saying the Clipper game he dropped 40 wasn't an NBA game? Yeah, mmmkayy, guy.
 
Playing against scrubs on an NBA team is >>>> than any summer league game. How many guys are dropping 40 in summer league? Point is, scoring 40 in an NBA game at the end of the season with starters sitting is not easy. He has potential.
