A few weeks back, in talking to NetsDaily about the team’s progress, Sean Marks nodded in the direction of Jarrett Allen and simply said, “Look at him, he’s 19.”
Indeed, that comment may sum up how the Nets see their 6’11” rookie big man: a shockingly quick learner for someone so young and so inexperienced, having played only one year on a bad Texas team.
After blocking 13 shots in the last three games, Allen now leads the NBA in blocked shots this month, one ahead of Anthony Davis.
