Certainly uncomfortable with the repeated questions about his "perceived" dirty play. However, no less uncomfortable than DA when he was asked about the knock on his motor in the Portland media day.

Probably closr to PJ. Plays too hard and makes some dumb mistakes but like PJ, I don't ever question his heart or effort

Also appreciate you posting all the media day Q&A's with the lesser-known players. Really good stuff

I think, as he put it, if he has had to answer this same question 100s of times in his career, it gets old quick.

He strikes me as neurodiverse with some anti-social tendencies.

And I mean reading this board he should be a fan favourite.

sunskerr wrote:Not gonna lie I think of the guys we got in the trade he's the one Im most excited to see. In theory he fits like a glove with the shooting and defense, lots of dirty work even if he is a dirty player. Skill set is a Vogel-type of guy. We were missing someone like Allen without Crowder and Paul. And he's under 30 years old which is always a nice plus. With all three of our stars being shooters its a perfect situation for him.


I posted in the general trade speculation threat, but I think Grayson Allen could potentially be our modern day Raja Bell. Does the dirty work, guards the opposing teams best perimeter player, and hits the three. I think he might come out as our starting SF, or even slide Booker to SF and have Allen as SG. I think having him start will give the Suns their best 5-man unit in terms of offensive output (along with EG replacing him in a much more limited sample size).


Hmm, I think Grayson tries hard on defense but he isn't the kind of guy you want guarding the teams best perimeter player. He has a 6'6" wingspan and isn't strong enough to guard big wings.

Super impressed with him. I knew about the shooting, I knew about the defense, I didn't know he could attack the close out as well as he did and make plays from it

That inbounds pass at 1:07 is ridiculous. Didn't even notice it live.

This guy is awesome. So exciting to have a shooter like him off the bench who is also capable of doing the other important things

He shot 35% from mid range last season but had some nice buckets in this one.

Really quite a misleading number since

66% of his attempts were three pointers shot at .399
18% of his attempts were within 3 feet shot at .670

His true shooting percentage was .612

He's like a lesser, non-HoF version of Ginobli.

He can do a little bit of everything out there, timely defense and can shoot it from deep.

Excited to see him out there with the bench unit. Dude is a dawg.

I've hated on the guy since his college days and in one short preseason run, he's starting to grow on me. Hate to say it but he's got real fan favourite potential

This guy just knows how to play basketball.

I know it's just a preseason game, but Grayson Allen made me happier in this one game than the whole last season of Ayton.

You make some strange comments given you just became a "Suns fan" when we got KD.
