Jarrett Allen: Nice Head of Hair

[rastamon87]

My post was half joking. I mean how much more can you ask for. I'd love him to have Lebron's vision, Majics passing, and Jordans competitive spirit.

He awesome and he is 22. He doesn't hurt, he helps a lot. He can get better in a lot of ways.

Haha, my sarcasm radar failed me... But seriously, I think he could develop to be a peak Brad Miller type passer, loved that guys passing as a center during his hey days....

All I'm gonna say is....

this guy played a few mins but banged up bogut enough to take him out of the series. that went well for us. gotta have those russians willing to do dirty work.

I do think passing is the way he could really take it to the next level. He has looked good at times with that too. Then again, how much passing does he really need to do when he is shooting 70% at the rim? It would be really valuable I am sure in the playoffs against a guy who could actually guard him at the rim. I hope we get into that situation

Is it too soon to start chanting MVP when he's at the line for home games?

I love Jarrett Allen so much that I bought his first Top Shot moment. Yeah, I bought a GIF and I'm not ashamed.

Very good. Couple crucial turnovers like everyone.

I hope he can bounce back tonight.

Is he hurt? His body language looks defeated? HE doesn't seem as springy maybe? He has gotten a lot of rebounds stripped too.

I mean he was the best guy on the floor those 5 games where they ripped off 4 and almost won 5 in a row.

He’s only playing like 3 mins more per game than the last couple seasons. So I doubt it’s due to increased workload?

To me it looks like he’s already frustrated with Sexton. There were a couple possessions where he was missed in the paint and was talking to himself after. I don’t think he’s having a good time.

He should talk to himself about his missed bunnies, fumbled passes and rebounds stripped from him by opponents.

Sexton was finding him repeatedly just a couple of games ago. What has changed? I think he is injured. Looks mad tho agree with that

I'm not mad at Kevin Love. He has zero value in the NBA, though. He might have played an important role for a championship, but his value isn't there (just like it's not there for Tristan). Who would give up assets for Love? Who would give up assets for Allen?

Again I say it has been mentioned several times on ESPN, ESPNRadio and NBA TV that at least three teams (Dallas, Portland and Philly) has inquired about obtaining Love but talks always stalled (just like with Drummond) when it came to matching salaries! Please don’t fool yourselves into thinking NOBODY wants Love! Love, just Drummond, would be snatched up on the first day of a buyout! It’s not skill he hasn’t been moved....it’s money!

He should talk to himself about his missed bunnies, fumbled passes and rebounds stripped from him by opponents.

As I said in a game thread, his hands seem really weak and he exposes the ball too much. I think when he grabs a rebound he keeps the ball above his head and ready for a quick outlet pass, which also exposes the ball to be poked out.

IMO, he needs to pull the ball in and throw his elbows around to get guys off him. Secure the ball, then make the pass.

I don't know why he fumbles so many passes - it could be a vision thing. But he needs to look the ball into his hands, secure it, then make his move.
