Trading for Grayson Allen was an ELITE move for the Phoenix Suns

Grayson Allen does not just needs to stop deferring he just needs to shoot he just needs to keep shooting the days of Grayson Allen taking four to seven shots in a game need to go away because he’s just as good a shooter as anybody else out there on the court he’s

He’s a good facilitator he makes smart choices and he can shoot the three like nobody else let’s go Grayson Allen give him the ball MCO MCO We said in the pregame show with all of the injuries that we had to deal with today with Katie being out Eric Gordon being out NS or little being out somebody had to step up and be that other guy not named Evan Booker or Bradley Beal and come to play and

Grayson Allen did just that he did he starty he started off saying like Big Three what big three I’m the big three he’s like I’m him just like we thought the Kevin Durant replacement is Grayson Allen leading all scorers tonight I mean that was one of my favorite performances I’ve seen in a

While it was just fun to watch him go off for those seven threes in that first half he’s he’s led the Suns in scoring two out of the last I think four or five games one of those two um Grayson Allen does not just needs to stop deferring he

Just needs he just needs to keep shooting the days of Grayson Allen taking four to seven shots in a game need to go away because he’s just as good a shooter as anybody else out there on the court he’s he’s a good facilitator he makes smart choices and

He can shoot the three like nobody else let’s go Grayson Allen give him the ball well we talked about it on the watch along but you and flexed said Grayson Allen and Eric Gordon need to combine for at least 20 shots in a game and I joked oh well without Eric Gordon out

There you think Grayson will get 20 he had 19 shots he he had 19 attempts hit 11 of them it was pretty great yeah and this is the third time I believe this season that Grayson Allen has had seven or more threes in a game uh he tied his

Career high of eight threes Midway through the third quarter and that like yeah like I said that’s the third time this season um actually it’s eight threes not seven threes it’s the third time this season that he’s at eight threes and then he he tied I’m not tried

I tried but I didn’t then he ties the single game record for the Sun which is nine made threes with 2 minutes and 22 seconds left in the game then they took him out for a little bit which I’m like just let him finish the game

And just give him the ball only only let Grayson shoot I’m irritated with Devin Booker and I’m irritated with with Yousef nurkic because in the third quarter there were two opportunities to get him the ball wide open and they just me yeah they opted for other plays and

They didn’t work out look I don’t I don’t blame Devin I think he saw white guy in the corner when he threw it to Drew Eubanks thinking no no ear in the third quarter when he the that that that got intercepted oh yeah to kbd yeah

That’s not the play he’s wide open right there the UB one works at least because he made it right but the one that you’re talking about sa in the third quarter it was like what are you doing he’s wide open and he’s hot why would you look him

Off I was made jie bummed in that one so he ties the sun’s alltime record for single games into three or single threes in a game uh do you know who the only guy to do it in a loss was you’re gonna like this one so so oh

Land sh oh I was like is the the guys who have done it in a game Grayson Allen now landre shamut cam Johnson Aaron Baines Channing fry and Jason Richardson okay you’re damn right Ted you’re damn right I did I absolutely did com said Saul wanted Grayson to hit H the T to

Erase shamet from the record book so Grayson is has now three of the top eight best three-point shooting performances by a son in a single game how many games have we played so far what are the is how many little over 30 that’s pretty good no idea I don’t know

What the stats are but that’s pretty good that’s pretty good honestly I mean it was a great game by Grayson Allen I am super bummed that he didn’t get that record for himself but what he can hang his hat on tonight is that he is our big bright shiny star big bright shining

Star he finished with 31 points four assists he was nine of 14 from Deep we don’t need to put the shades on him shout out to Grayson makes him look like a NC he was too bright he had to have him on the red do burn he’s the sun too

Hot he’s too hot to handle did you he was so hot that Damen Lee during the postgame interview decided he had to douse him with water bottles it was great that was cute though it was that was cute I love it having fun yeah all right we do have a couple super chats

Here that I want to get to because a lot of them are about Grayson Allen psycho blue sent us one thank you psycho blue they said basketball cthulu is pleased with Judah Shuttlesworth the referees are unjust against our seven foot acolytes and Kellen olssen is on a curse

Was for his Beal tweet um I think that was probably about the limp for Bradley Beal is that what he’s talking about I’d imagine so I’m guessing that’s what that one’s about uh Trevor sent us one thank you Trevor they say yeah Grayson not getting traded he’s been money yes that

Or his trade value has never been higher yeah it could be kidding I mean listen it could go one of two ways and either one wouldn’t surprise me like Grayson is so good for this team but he’s also super valuable so I would get both sides

Uh Al it sucks Alfredo alala said Grace went from most punchable white guy to most lovable and reliable big three and let me say this at the very beginning of the season I said that grayon was going to win a lot of people over because he’s

A good player it’s just the the stupid little Antics and the cheap shots that he was taking at guys throughout his career uh it labeled him as as as a bad guy basically but if he’s on your team you’re going to love him and sure enough look at every every single person out

There that was like oh I wish I could go back to that day when we traded for Grayson Allen and screenshotted all the hate that my man was getting didn’t deserve to his credit though he talked about how he’s matur right he did and we haven’t seen any of those Antics this

Year we have not so I give him credit and I think it’s fair to feel that way because the reputation that he came in with was not a good one no look so I get it I’m not blaming anybody for that I blame them because he’s our the

Second he gets in a son’s uniform I don’t care what he’s done he’s our now you’re a liar because you I don’t think you would feel the same way about like a pat Bev yes Draymond he’d be they’d be R I don’t think he would draym Draymond might be a little maybe

Not Draymond at this point cuz you know you don’t know what draymond’s doing behind the scenes punching dudes and right uh by the way lucky dab asks ESO uh you’re the uniform goat what shoes did book have on today it looked like a new colorway no it was the orange

Colorway of the book one that was one of the first ones that we God Priscilla I take offense to that I that is not the only player I’ve been right on I’ve been on the beal train too just everybody keeps doubting him because he’s always hurt but Beal I said was gonna be

Phenomenal and he was to you got to read the comments Saul G Grayson is the only player Saul has been right about all season yeah you’ve been on the beeld train but he’s been in the infirmary on that train for most of the year so okay

Well but he’s good when he’s out though before we talk about B I do want to talk a little bit more about Grayson Allen there’s two comments in the chat that um I want to specifically highlight Bobby said I know tonight was about his threes but his defense is what puts him over

The top I did not expect to like him so much and then we got another one from Jose and they said his defense has gotten better as well he has a high IQ and I think that’s something that’s we can’t Overlook with Grayson Allen is he

The best defender no of course not but he’s solid and he puts in effort majority of the time and I think that’s something that’s really important too when you look at what he’s capable of doing offensively he’s no chump defensively either no I’d argue he’s the hardest working guy out there on defense

You putting forth the most effort in terms of effort compared to to skill and defense is so much about effort and energy and Grayson has done such a great job of putting that in this year so it does make it a lot easier to root for

Him because you were told oh you know could he be is he going to be the best defender you have no but he’s gone out there and he’s worked his ass off and I appreciate that I mean’s he’s a good Defender he’s a good Defender he’s not a

Great defender he’s not an elite Defender he’s a good Defender um and he’s a good Defender because he he understands where he needs to be most of the time um now one-on-one you know like guys are going to get the best of them from time to time for sure but in terms

Of the team concept and chemistry and making sure that you’re in position all the time Grayson is usually always where he’s supposed to be which is good and that’s what keeps him on the floor because on the offensive side when he gets his opportunities he comes through

So again Grayson is I mean for as much shrapnel as JJ gets um on a lot of these deals and stuff like that Grayson getting Grayson Allen is proving to be one of the most shrewd moves of any move this off season by an executive because

Grayson Allen has by far been I mean you could argue Grayson Allon has been the most important player not outside outside the big three this season I I agree wholeheartedly he maybe nerk yeah but even he hasn’t been as consistent as Grayson yeah but I don’t I suppose well I don’t know the

They both have stretches and then they’ve both had a couple games where it’s like where where’d you go true but the the difference is I think you could make an argument for both the the difference is is with Grayson he does so many things at a at a at a a really good

Great level that there’s not really a drop off in terms of what you’re going to get like he doesn’t he hasn’t had a game where he turns the ball over five or six times right he hasn’t had a game where he’s fouled out he hasn’t had a game where he’s just played sloppy

Basketball he might not have gotten as much shots as the other guys but he has played fairly well in just about every single game so that’s why I would I would say that about him I think his highs have been higher than Oh by far I

Mean they both had some except for that um Nuggets game that was pretty impressive for yeah but I I still think but Grayson has had multiple yeah I feel like they both had some inconsistent moments where they they don’t have as big of games but Grayson’s highs have

Been much higher I was shocked I just realized this uh not only did he have the 31 points four rebounds four assists he had two blocks which is uh it speaks again to that hustle on the defensive end

After he erupted for 31 points in Phoenix’s win over the Heat without Kevin Durant, the PHNX Suns crew discuses just how good Grayson Allen has been for a team focused on Durant, Booker and Beal.
