What was that at the end, an attempted soccer flop?
His lack of footspeed/lateral quickness is going to be even more exposed in the NBA. And lead to more incidents like this. If he makes it in the NBA.
Right now he's Danny Ainge with about 10% of Danny's talent.
Have you watched Allen play? Seriously dude is athletic and not just for a white guy. He's got hops and a great jumper. Not to mention he can D up He'll more than just stick in the NBA. He's a head case that's for sure and has an edge to him clearly but so long as he doesn't go all Ron Artest out there he'll be a solid or better NBA player. Ainge wishes he had Allens physical talent back when he played...What was that at the end, an attempted soccer flop?

Oh I'm aware of Ainges career. I'm almost 40 and remember him playing with Bird and McHale. As you mentioned he's well accomplished. But I don't think he was as fast or able to do some of the things Allen can on a basketball court. Allen had one of the higher verts in the class I believe... You can tell with those warm up dunks in those clips Special K posted that Allen isn't even giving it all he's got to do that either. They are similar in size and as far as their eras go will have almost similar roles. So I can get comparing them to an extent. Time will tell how Allen does..I get it, Grayson Allen is a good athlete. But in high school Ainge was 1st team All-American in football, basketball, and baseball. Not only did he win the Wooden award as a college basketball player, he played in the majors for the Blue Jays and is the youngest player in Jays history to hit a home run.
15-year NBA veteran, solid career averages of 11.5 ppg, 4.0 apg, 2.7 rpg, one-time All-Star, 2x NBA champ (Boston), played in 2 other NBA finals and lost to MJ (Portland and Phoenix).
The guy had some skills.

Allen may be a great athlete, maybe not. One thing for sure. 1st Team All American Jackass

Grayson Allen isn't going to play in the NBA. He couldn't guard a park bench.What was that at the end, an attempted soccer flop?
