Expert Analysis
Eric Wallace | Prep Hoops Scout
An All-Met selection after averaging a double-double last season, Allotey is a late blooming frontcourt prospect whose stock continues to rise. A long, athletic and mobile big man, he runs the floor well, has good hands and uses his explosiveness to finish above the rim. He is effective scoring on the block and displays the ability to finish with either hand around the basket. His combination of length, mobility and athleticism also gives him the tools to make an impact as a rebounder and rim protector. Scholarship level college coaches should be taking notice.

Allotey has only been playing basketball since he entered high school, and the rate at which he’s developed has been very impressive as he is a walking mismatch who can impact the game across the board. In that little time he has already developed into a reliable shooter from deep and has good touch around the rim with both hands, he has very good feel and makes good passes out of doubles and to cutters, he dominates the glass on both ends of the floor, and he is a very good rim protector as well.
