By Ty Delbridge
2. Grayson Allen
- Height: 6’4”
- Weight: 198 lbs
- Age; 22
- Position: SG
After playing four seasons for Duke University, Grayson Allen is graduated from college and on his way to the NBA. Allen was one of the most well-known players in college basketball and Duke history.
Last season for Duke, Allen averaged 15.5 points, 4.6 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 35.6 minutes per game while shooting 41.8 percent from the field and 37 percent from the 3-point line.
Allen would provide the Warriors with another sniper out on the wing as an excellent 3-point shooter. He can score with the ball in his hands, creating offense for himself and his teammates. But he can also play off the ball, run off screens for shots and slash to the basket. Allen could play both point guard and shooting guard for the Warriors.
The Ringer compared Allen to Eric Gordon and Danny Ainge. If Allen can be okay on defense and become a 3-point specialist, he has a chance to play a long time in the NBA and could be an instrumental player for the Warriors as they look to continue their championship run.
