Grayson Allen: A misunderstood talent or a key player for the Suns' future success?

Grayson Allen, a 3-and-D specialist, currently showcases his skills with the Phoenix Suns. A standout during his college days at Duke University, Allen donned the Blue Devils jersey for four years and was instrumental in their 2015 national championship victory. Often regarded as Duke’s best player of the 2010s, he was selected 21st overall by the Utah Jazz in the 2018 NBA Draft.

While Allen hasn’t quite replicated his collegiate dominance in the NBA, he has carved out a solid role for himself as a reliable contributor. Despite fan criticism for his unconventional on-court tactics, Allen has proven to be a valuable acquisition for the Suns. But today, the spotlight shifts to his better half, Morgan Reid.
