18. Grayson Allen, SG, Duke
Senior, Grayson Allen has had a tremendous start to his final campaign as a member of the Duke Blue Devils. Allen is averaging 17.8 points per game, to go along with a career-high in field-goal percentage (48.7 percent) and three-point percentage (45.6 percent) If Allen can sustain this sort of production, he’ll likely be a first-round pick in June’s draft.
Moreover, Allen’s big-game ability was on show in the showdown against Michigan State. Allen scored 37 points, and knocked down seven of his 11 three-point attempts. He rallied his team to a seven-point victory, like any leader should do. Allen is quickly reviving his previously sunken draft stock.
Hopefully, Allen can keep his head screwed on and not have any moments of complete silliness. If he shows the tripping incidents are behind him, it’ll help thoroughly in the draft process. This could be a huge year for Allen and the Blue Devils.
