About Ethan
Expert Analysis
Jaelin Stovall | Prep Hoops Scout
A tough, undersized guard with a tight handle and plenty of creativity with the ball in his hands. He does a great job getting to his spots and creating opportunities for his mid-range pull-up, while also showing the touch to knock down difficult, off-balance shots. Despite his size, he plays with a savvy edge and brings constant energy defensively, getting up into opposing ball handlers and making them uncomfortable.

Allen plays at full speed and pressures defenses with his pace. The quick playmaker thrives getting downhill where he excels as a drive-and-kick creator. Ethan sees the floor well and consistently looks to involve teammates once he penetrates the paint. He keeps the ball moving and brings energy to the offense every possession.
Defensively, Allen is a pesky on-ball defender who competes hard and forces turnovers with his activity. He stays aggressive pressuring ball handlers and creates havoc with his quickness. While his facilitating ability stands out first, Ethan continues showing flashes of scoring upside as well. He stepped up offensively throughout his junior season and proved capable of creating his own buckets when needed.

Read EvaluationEric Wallace | Prep Hoops Scout
The junior point guard is a quick, strong, and aggressive lead guard who consistently puts pressure on the defense. Allen scored 11 points for the Chargers in a loss to Woodward Academy, repeatedly getting downhill into the paint and finishing around the rim. The 6-foot guard also did a good job of drawing contact and earning multiple trips to the free-throw line, showcasing his physicality and attacking mindset.

Lightning quick jitterbug. Sets the tone with his energy. Pesky on-ball defender. Pass-first point guard. Learning to change speeds. Physically strong although slightly undersized.
