We’ll start with the obvious, Allen is one of the best in the state and he looked the part last night. His fall away mid range jumper was so tough. Basically unguardable at this level. Allen hit triples in all sorts of ways, from contested to off the catch to creating space with his handles and firing off the bounce. He also effectively attacked the rim with the ball. Allen was very impressive with his vision and decision making, which was especially evident with his plethora of drop off passes across the lane.

– Received an offer from Oakland University
Oakland seems to know talented guards when they see them. Allen is a dynamic player that can make plays with the ball in his hands. He can put the ball on the floor and create. But he also has one of the most dangerous pull up triples in the state.

Allen has been a hot name in my articles as of late, but when you earn it you get it. He made a pretty big rise, but that’s what happens when you prove to be an elite player. Allen can create space and looks with his handles. And his jumper off the bounce is dangerous. Allen is very comfortable with the ball in his hands in the open floor.
