Jarrett Allen: Nice Head of Hair?

[pr26]

Bickerstaff is salivating at the thought of playing Drummond, Nance, Allen, Maker, and McGee at the same time, isn't he?

Maker just waived. End of an era.

Nope. High character guy that is well aware of his limitations. He showed some improvements in the post this season as well.

Well I hope we nip that in the butt ASAP. No post play allowed. Stick to the pnr like a good big is supposed to.

He is mostly an elite roller. And I wouldn't be concerned since he has shot .65% from the field on average in the last two years and a 80% finisher from 0-3 this season and .75% last year.

He has a nice touch from 15 feet too IIRC

Not something I would hang my hat on. Miniscule amount of attemps on below average percentages. I will say that he upped his volume, but nothing there yet imho. I think he is at his best shooting from close range...has some nice moves and a good touch on his hook shot with both hands.

Weird that his projection dips during his prime years...?

Moreso shines through as he's a 75+% foul shooter and he gets to the line.

Big men break down as they get older?

Well, he is only 22 and we see a decline at 23 already.. That's just weird to me.

Mandatory highlights!

Or they knew he’d go to the cavs where he’d have 17 bigs to share minutes with.

538 overfits to the trajectories of statistically similar players. So if the most similar players happened to peak in their early 20's, 538 predicts that he will also peak in his early 20's. I'm highly skeptical that there's any truth to it.

It appears 538 considers 2020 an outlier thus far.
