BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues
ANALYSIS: I made Grayson one of my most-discussed WW targets for the 2021 season. I kicked off this year's WW posts with an entry about him. And one week later, at this very moment and with no ending point in sight, I keep and will keep doing it, folks. Allen, the oft-hated college-player-turned-reasonably-good-pro has started all five games played by Milly through Friday and he's done what he's always done: producing goodies.
Allen is the first-unit SG of the Bucks these days with Donte DiVincenzo out. Obviously--because of the presence of a certain Jrue/Giannis/Khris trio--Allen is not going to get to finish more than 20% of the Bucks possessions on offense and that's why his usage rate is at a below-average 17.3%. The minute he starts coming of the bench that will definitely skyrocket, and his production should stay the same or even improve. The MPG are at a high 29 a day, and that's just the start.
Grayson Allen has scored 2+ triples in each of his five games. He's finished with 10+ points in all of them. He's shot 30%+ in all five, including 36%+ in four of those, and an automatic 45.5% in all other three attempting 10 or 11 FGA in all five games. You tell me this guy is a robot, and I will be absolutely inclined to believe your speech. It is what it is. So count on Allen to provide great shooting (the triples are fantastic at 2.8 per given his usage) and for those in 9-cat leagues take advantage of Allen's lack of ball-handling duties and thus low turnovers (only 2 in five games to date).
