Just fucking broken with that shot.

SignUp Now!Biggest issue is that he just doesn't get many shot attempts period and he has to take a lot of them off the dribble since he's forced to run the point a lot.
He doesn't have much wiggle at all in his game, his driving was always head down and create contact. You can't do that with two bigs and their defenders occupying the lane.
I just feel bad for him. He's doing the best he can in a role he just isn't suited for

Good post. In part. this is why Duval is such a disappointment. He was supposed to free GA up for shots.
Yeah, the thing bumming me out most about this season BY FAR is the sad state of his career. He had a chance to be a legend. Instead, he is just a sad has-been.

If we somehow bullshit our way to a title with Allen balling out in the tournament, he could still be a legend. About as likely as us sweeping VT.
I wonder how much of this is due to his right wrist probably being fucked up. Players don't usually just go from being high-volume elite shooters to meh shooters, even if they start sucking in other areas.
I feel like the end game here is going to be making him the de facto PG, even though he's struggled this year when he's had to do that on the fly due to Duval being randomly unplayable. I mean, even if Matt Jones or Frank Jackson brought the ball up the court a lot in 2016 and 2017, Allen was undeniably the primary creator/playmaker on those teams, and led both teams in assists. We don't actually have much evidence that Allen can consistently be an effective off-the-ball wing from any point in his career, despite the general narrative that that's his natural role.
Might as well let the ship go down with him primarily at the helm, instead of some shithead freshman who contributes nothing positive consistently and is a massive liability in multiple areas.
