Player Grayson Allen

[DukeCrow]

Reports are that K talks about verve and strong faces with Allen.

His face was really weak when it ran into Guy's elbow. He needs to work on that.

If he is going to attack the rim, tonight would be a good place to start. I don't think ND offers any rim protection.

 

[torontoduke]

He was brilliant in pretty much every aspect of the game tonight.

So good to see.

He is our best PG option against non-blacklete teams. Of course we've never seen Duval against a UK/USC defense either.

Love how enthusiastic he was tonight in demeanor. He is so bi-polar that his highs just seem infectious out there.

Nice passes off of his drives. There is so much pressure on him to create when TD struggles.

 

[deepdarkblue]

He looked like himself. It was great to see, and I hope it can continue.

Carter is the Devils' best, but man is Grayson important to the whole enterprise. He really played a great floor game - except for that one back door play, his D was nice.

 

[bdotling]

Stopped being a bitch for a game. I feel like he started tapping with Pfluger a bit and finally got into a game. Still don’t feel like I can trust him yet though

 

[childress22]

I don't fully trust him yet.

But I trust him to run the half-court offense better than Duval.

 

[niveklaen]

who is more of an enigma - Duval or Allen?

 

[bdotling]

Duval just has low IQ.

Allen had one of the best seasons in Duke history and has regressed beyond anybody’s expectations

Not to mention that he may have actually had the best game of his career earlier this season when he carried us against Michigan State

Back door plays always make the D look gross

I missed this - hat tip to you, sir.

 

[torontoduke]

Feels like Grayson will put in a good one tomorrow. Keep up that decent shooting displayed on Monday night.

He'll need Tre to stop fucking around and settle down.

 

[StopThePumpFakesShav]

SJU good at contesting twos (have an elite shotblocker and are 3rd nationally in block percentage) and bad at defending the 3. So Duke may need Allen tomorrow to not be shitty from deep. Duke is top 5 is NOT getting blocked (presumably because Allen and Trent don’t drive too much and most of our two point attempts around the basket come from guys that are hard to block) so hopefully their shotblocking will matter less.

 

[DurhamSon]

Way to not show up against a 10-13 (11-13) team, captain.

 

[DrKlahn]

What an anchor he is these days.

 

[Devilsforlife]

So clutch.
