KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Texas men's basketball coach Shaka Smart has a good idea of what he has in 6-11 freshman Jarrett Allen.
Smart has also decided where to play him and how to use him.
"He's a phenomenal player, and he's only getting better and better," Smart said when asked about the top 50 national recruit at the Big 12 men's basketball media days Tuesday. "He's a rare blend of a guy that is very, very long and athletic and has great size. But also has very good touch around the basket and just has some great natural instincts.
