“I feel like in the summer we all put our heads down to work hard. We all wanted to be better, and then we had the coaching change and Kenny is one of the best coaches in the league and it’s showing,” is what Jarrett Allen had to say, after extending the Cleveland Cavaliers‘ perfect win record to double digits (10), after the win against the Warriors this season!
The hoopster has been in great form, just like the rest of the squad. Allen has gone four straight games with a double-double and has seven so far this season. His rebounds per game have increased, as he is now averaging 11.9 boards compared to 10.5 last season. These solid performances have also drawn appreciation from his Head Coach, Kenny Atkinson.
Atkinson said, “Jarrett Allen, like just on both ends right like he, he’s kind of dominating on both ends.” Complimenting the center’s dominance, he added, “He can guard any, like, Kade Cunningham, LeBron and we’re switching him on everybody and he’s just he’s just locking down,” explaining how effective Jarrett Allen has become defensively for this Cavs side.

Has Jarrett ever made it to the All-Star team?
After signing his multi-year contract with the Cavaliers in 2021, Jarrett Allen became the first player, since the introduction of the shot clock, to make 10 or more field goals without a miss in a season opener. Months later, the hoopster was named as a replacement for James Harden, the very player he got traded for a year prior, on Team LeBron in the 2022 NBA All-Star Game.
To date, it remains his only All-Star appearance, but that could soon change if the hoopster keeps up his impressive form. He was unlucky not to make it in 2024, but the next year could be his 2nd All-Star night if he and the Cavs keep rolling past teams with ease.
