hell no

His game won't translate well in the NBA. Handles is average at best. No way he is 6'5 either, more closer to 6'3.
Dudes handles are at least as good as Lin's - but he's strong as hell for a sophomore and has a first step to match.

Put him in our pnr all-day offense and he'd eat.

I have major concern about his ability to handle pressure defense from plus athletes... his handle still isn't very good, and while he's a good athlete, he doesn't have a ton of burst to get by guys.

grayson's strength is so underrated...dude is strong as fukk and if he keeps putting work in and gets his handle tightened up, he'll be more than fine in the league. i'd rather he stay another year but i don't fault him for going pro in arguably the weakest draft in years especially when next season there simply won't be enough shots to go around to help his stock with frank jax, giles and tatum coming in.

Yall said this about Redikk on SOHH also :sas2:

One of the things Allen does well that nobody has mentioned is his ability to draw contact, similar to....
He can't shoot like Redikk, he's shorter than Redikk and he's not good/great at anything. Redikk is an A1 shooter. Allen isn't A1 at anything. He's just another white guy with slight above average athleticism. Ron Baker is much better than he is. Jimmer was better. Hell, Dekker from Wisconsin was a much better player and look where he is. Glued to the bench, best seat in the house every night.

He'll be a Coach K assistant in 4 years, book it

He'll be a decent scorer after time I think. He's got some offensive game and he will only get better. He's not the biggest 2 guard prospect in the world but he's definitely not that undersized either. He will have a place for a long time in the NBA.

Center self, inner self
Everyone who had something negative to say about my mans Grayson Allen got negged :umad::ufdup::camby:

Jon Diebler
He plays NOTHING like Diebler. GTFOH :camby:
don't lead in no interaction with me with no unwarranted disrespect nikka..

I don't think he's a better shooter... I'm not impressed when I've watched him.. foh
Open your fukking eyes then.
He's pegged as a late first rounder right now, a good tournament & good combine could get high a bit higher but not much.
He better stay his ass in school :birdman: :to:
come again bytch nikka? he's one of the most offensively efficient players in the country, and I believe had the most offensively efficient season in duke's history while also leading the ACC in win shares and 2nd in the country in win shares. Duke is in the NIT this season without him.



much more athletic and much better shooter than dellavadova. You have to be a hater to make that comparison. Bob sura is also a lazy comparison. He's more a combo of ginobili with the the euro moves he utilizies alot, a less athletic wade in terms of attacking the hoop, and very similar to devin booker in terms of his spot up sjhooting and passing from the 2-guard position. Best overall comp is probably someone like beal.
I'm with you but he's not as athletic as Beal
Looks like Eric Gordon to me. Undersized 2, nice J, nice hops, poor handle.
This is actually a great comparison, but he has more heart than Gordon had at this stage in his career.
he should stay, the spacing with Giles and Tatum will be stupid. Thornton gonna get better, his overall numbers may go down but the effeciency will skyrocket

draft looks horrible so he could go late teens, dont see him shooting into lotto territory at any point. like the aggression to the rack, handles need a ton of work
Thornton isn't going to start next year--Frank Jackson will. I agree that he needs to stay, though.
He'll average 20 a game on the Maine Red Claws.

LOL. Allen is a far better player than Redikk was as a sophomore. Jimmer Frederette didn't come on until his senior year. They will have similar senior years if Grayson stays. Also, Grayson is far better at driving than Jimmer was even as a senior. BTW Grayson won't have to carry the team in scoring next year if he returns, nor will he have to play point like he did yesterday.
