Welcome to the team though!

This guy is going to be such a far cry from Lopez, can't wait to see him out there. LIke Calamity said, he's already repping our colors.

Prok must have just busted a nut...

"What do you envision your role as?"

"I think with my length and athleticism I'll be a rim protector. And I can guard guards, switch on the pick and roll."

Something like that lol.

From the little I've watched of him, Allen sort of reminds me of a young Andrew Bynum. Should be interesting to see his development curve

I haven't seen much on this guy either b/c I thought he would have been gone by this pick. Excited to catch up on what we're getting in this kid.

He also looks like he's from the early 80s.

mentioned allen on the first few pages of the draft thread.... saying he'd be perfect and could defend like a modern big..

Love allen as a rim protector...can switch on to smalls and has crazy wingspan but we need to get to like 10 to get him


Semi could drop a bit.. og too... we need to be actice buying into the top of the second.

allen + semi would be siiiick
