Tony Allen thinks, then acts

That is Tony's problem..
He thinks of what he's going to do, and then acts. Here is an example:
He sees an open lane. He drives for the lay in. A shot blocker comes over, he puts up a circus shot which doesn't hit rim.
On the other hand, if he sees an open lane and a shot blocker, he will drive and scoop every time to the big guy getting freed up.
To summarize he is an incredible defender, and very good at driving the ball, but his BBIQ is low much like Gerald Green.
In the end unlike Gerald he is competitive, plays defense, and will be a positive for this team, i like him.
