There isn’t much negative you can say about the efforts of Grayson Allen since he joined the Phoenix Suns this past offseason. He brought with him a reputation for being cocky and dangerous, snotty and dirty. The former Duke Blue Devil has been anything but in his first season in the Valley of the Sun. He has been consistent and steady, quiet and deadly.
And he’s hustled his ass off.
Grayson Allen has played and started in 72 games for the Suns this season, averaging 13.5 points and shooting 45.7% from beyond the arc. The effort he puts in on both ends of the floor has been commendable, especially considering he is tasked nightly with guarding the opposing team's point-of-attack facilitator.
