Expert Analysis
Bobby Lopez | Prep Hoops Scout
Allen has the opportunity to become a major piece for Cherokee Trail this season after the program graduated a talented senior class. The quick, deceptive guard has the skill set to step into a larger role, using his ability to facilitate the offense while also attacking the lane and blowing past defenders. He keeps the offense moving and creates quality opportunities for those around him, but his biggest impact comes on the defensive end. Allen competes with relentless energy, pressures the ball and makes life difficult for opposing guards. If he embraces the expanded responsibility, he could be one of Cherokee Trail’s most valuable players this season

Allen did a great job this week for his DBA Elite as he helped run the show as a true PG. He was explosive and had plenty of blow-by baskets where he either went up or kicked it out to get the defense moving. He reads the PnR and attacks, he can go off of it and finish, and also hit a few 3-pointers as well. Allen was consistent on the weekend. He also made his mark on the defensive end as well as he was playing the passing lanes, got a couple of steals, and finished on the other end as well. Allen is a two-way option who could earn some minutes if he keys in on that end of the floor and shows that he hangs his hat on being a lock-down defender.

Allen did a great job this weekend for his DBA Elite 17u team as he helped run the show for what was a really successful weekend for this group. Allen is a true two way guard that plays the game the right way at both ends of the floor. He possesses the ability to make reads in ball screen situations and does a great job getting the ball to the hot hand when applicable. Allen also knows when to push the pace, when to slow it down, and when to take over scoring the ball on his own. He can attack the basket and finish in traffic along with being able to knock down outside shots. He looks like a bonafide next level guy and should start to garner more attention here soon on the recruiting trail with the live period on the horizon.

Allen is integral towards Denver Academy’s success, taking on plenty of ball handling responsibilities to survey the floor for his next move. Comfortable changing the pace as needed, he works to keep his head up in spite of traps along the perimeter or farther out. An accurate passer with one hand as needed, the guard brings important tools to maintaining this group’s composure.
