Since I'm incredibly fed-up with talking about free agency, let's talk about Grayson Allen.

By several metrics he was one of the worst players in the NBA last year, but he did have two good games to end the season. I completely forgot about them until today with so much discussion being focused on free agency.





Can Allen have a successful 2nd season as a rotation player? Or is he just a bum who cant play defense?

No i don't think he is a bum. I think offensively he is an NBA player. He can create his own shot and his passing is underrated. He has NBA athleticism too. I don't think his defensive is as bad as others say. He showed improvement late in the year. However, he has to be more consistent and continue to put in the work defensively to get playing time. His second year will depend a lot on who the Jazz bring back. I personally think he is going to be a contributor if he gets minutes.
 
I think he has much higher upside than people think. He got to his spots really well last season, but had trouble finishing the play. Also had trouble finishing at the rim, especially through contact, which is normal for a rookie. His on ball defense also wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but his off ball defense needs some work. Gets caught ball watching and loses his man sometimes. I think he will be a consistent rotation player this season.
 
I’m choose to be carelessly optimistic. He’s shown he can score. He was learning to play defense. So I say he’ll be part of the rotation and average 10ppg or so. Don’t quote me on this in the future...
 
Ooooffff

People be reading waaaayyyy too much into those two games imo.

For the rest of the nba season he looked at least a step slower both offensively and defensively than everyone else. Like a deer caught in headlights despite being older than most (maybe all) rookies. To me he looks like Mo Almond II/Quincy Lewis II.

Hope I’m wrong...
 
Who has a better season: Grayson or Exum?

Grayson, as hell probably stay healthy. He’ll probably give us about as much production as Exum but at least he’ll be healthy enough to run up and down the court a few times.

Exum is a complete and utter bust. And it comes at a time that we desperately need a second guy. If he could’ve just given us Monta Ellis like production imagine how different things would’ve been...
 
He'll be worth the money he's being paid. I can't say with confidence much beyond that.

I think he shows some promise.
 
I have hope for him. He has NBA athleticism and I think he's got an NBA game. He needs to take a big step forward if he wants to be a rotation player. That said I think he's got a good chance.
