If Grayson Allen has a career high of 40 points, when he played at Utah, the former Duke only exceeded 30 points four times in the NBA. Including twice in the last seven matches…
Against the Heat, the rear ended with 31 points at 11/17 shooting, including a superb 9/14 behind the 3-point line!
“He’s just in the rhythm of the match” explains Devin Booker. “He makes it all look so easy. It's not complicated. He takes open shots and when opponents try to take him away from the 3-point line, he makes the right call. I think opposing teams will quickly realize that ignoring him is not the right option.”
For Grayson Allen, who tied a franchise record for 3-pointers made in a game (Landry Shamet, Cam Johnson, Aron Baynes, Channing Frye, Quentin Richardson and Rex Chapman also reached this total with Phoenix), life in Phoenix is actually not very complicated. He is there to punish opposing defenses who focus on Bradley Beal, Devin Booker and Kevin Durant, even if the latter was not dressed against Miami.
“When we play teams that close the paint and help on Brad, Devin or Kevin to force them to make the pass, that's when we have to beat them…A lot of those shots come from the fact that we have a very altruistic group » insists Grayson Allen. “I don't have 14 3-pointers if Book and Brad don't make the extra pass all night, sticking to it and not getting frustrated because they can't get to the rim. I'm happy to play with guys like that. »
And vice versa, because having shooters capable of penalizing assists will be essential for the “Big Three”.
