Brooklyn Nets: Angry Jarrett Allen is the best Jarrett Allen
Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen had a rare moment in the team’s road win over the Atlanta Hawks — he got mad, demonstratively so. Then he had a big game.
Jarrett Allen has had a very solid second NBA season for the Brooklyn Nets. The big Texan with the bigger hair has made big strides as a rebounder, understand the subtleties of rim protection more each game it seems and is very good — particularly for a 20-year-old — of staying within himself.
He can also appear to be having a very good time on the floor, playing with a joy that belies a player whose draft stock faded because he had the unmitigated gall to be open about having other interests outside of basketball.
