Grayson Allen

Strict in his shot diet, with 30 of his 39 shot attempts arriving from long range after the calendar flip, Grayson Allen found that a “cheat day” was well worth it on January 11, 2025. Wisely run off the 3-point line by Patty Mills, the Phoenix Suns’ sniper tests both his versatility and verticality with fellow ex-Blue Devil Kyle Filipowski hoping to plant a red stop sign inside Phoenix’s orange paint. Embodying a “new year, new me” mentality, Allen gets creative against the 6-foot-11 big, working an acrobatic, across-the-rim scoop shot through to add a must-see clip to his career highlight reel. Such plays helped the Suns maintain control in a competitive, yet wire-to-wire win over the Utah Jazz, as they ironed out lineup and chemistry kinks. Business as usual, Allen offered his deposit through 14 points (on 5-of-11 shooting), accompanied by four rebounds, four assists, two steals, and four 3-pointers.
