By Matt Giles
Duke basketball’s sweetest shooters in the NBA bubble: Grayson Allen
6-4, 200. Guard. 6. player. Scouting Report. Grayson Allen. 211. Pick Analysis
Career, season, and bubble 3-point percentages: 37.4, 41.7, 58.6
Career, season, and bubble FG percentages: 42.8, 47.0, 56.1
Career, season, and bubble FT percentages: 79.2, 85.4, 83.3
Shooting stroke purity (10-point scale): 8.9
After taking a game to heat up, Grayson Allen has been in a zone inside the bubble as of late. Across the past four contests, the Jacksonville product’s combined shooting stats are as follows: 16-for-28 from the field, 14-for-20 from beyond the arc, and 5-for-5 from the foul line. It’s obvious the 2015 Duke basketball national champion and No. 21 overall pick in 2018 is taking advantage of his time in Orlando and carving out a larger role within the franchise moving forward.
The 24-year-old Allen and the 33-37 Memphis Grizzlies, No. 7 in the Western Conference standings, are 1-4 since the restart and have three games remaining in their regular season: against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday at 2 p.m., against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday at 5 p.m., and against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday (TV and tipoff time to be announced).
