Jarrett Allen’s case for the NBA All-Star Game – Cleveland Cavaliers, Cavs News
BL content to run their half court SE CL Jared Allen Blow by come now throws it down come on now that that that makes no sense right there Jared Allen is playing out of his mind recently he’s averaging 21 points 16 rebounds and six assists over his
Last five games only Joel embiid is posting similar numbers over this same stretch Allen has been a beast on the glass hauling in 30 offensive rebounds the second most in the NBA since to December 23rd and Allen currently has the 11th highest offensive rebounding percentage in the league for a minimum
Of 25 games played rebounding has never been a strong point for the Cavaliers despite their too big lineup last season Allan and Moy were basically asked to rebound entirely on their own with an undersized Supporting Cast surrounding them and last year’s Cavs attempted few three pointers which led to fewer long
Rebounds and second chance opportunities the Cavs ranked 21st in rebounding last season but have jumped to eighth this year and first in the NBA over their last five games no coincidence the Cavs are attempting the most three-pointers in the league since mid December all of these long rebounds have made it easy
For them to secure extra possessions over a third of Allen’s offensive rebounds have come off a Miss three-pointers and Allen has a great sense for when the seas are parted enough for him to charge in for a putback slam Raptors with six second chance points and there’s against Chicago Allen went toe-to-toe
With Andre Drummond the league leader in rebounding percentage and outworked him for 17 big boards been struggling his long shot a game later Allen goes for 24 points and 23 rebounds in another winning effort over the Mavericks and just a week later for the third time in
Five games Allen recorded 17 or more rebounds by snatching 19 of them against the Wizards this play was ridiculous where Allen collects the rebound looks down at his feet to ensure a safe landing and still manages to flip it in for a bucket he sure did my saved Allen’s feel for the game
Has really been on display during the stretch and the Cavs are using him to Perfection Washington chose to play heavy drop coverage against Allen so the Cavs put Allen into as many dribble handoffs as possible with gaffard so far out of the play this is essentially a free open look for Max
Shu Allen is generating a ton of quality looks on the perimeter when his Defender plays in Drop and Allan does a great job of finding his teammates on the Cut on this play Jones has no chance of catching Porter over the screen so Allen drops a perfectly played pass for a layup Allen is nearly doubling his career high and assist this season and one-handed dimes like this show you why s going one way on the pivot foot swi
Jared Allen with a bullet as he finds Bruce inside but on top of all of this as well as being a defensive Ace Allen is scoring the ball at a high rate he has always been one of the best release valves in basketball serving as the ultimate lob threat and cleaning up dump
Off passes on a nightly basis here’s that triple handoff action again but this time Allen gets the ball back for a score of his own Allen is scoring off of this action a lot shooting 68% from the floor since December 16th that’s the highest field goal percentage of any player to attempt
100 shots during that time but Allen is doing so much more than just feeding on pick and rolls he uses the drop coverage as a Runway to take Brook Lopez head on and Allen has been Uber aggressive attacking Defenders one-on-one this is a strong face up move for a reverse
Layup it’s easy to take for granted how graceful and explosive Allen is for a seven-footer come this is subtle but Elite footwork on the catch to make his Defender lean the wrong way and here Allen recognizes the drop and simply goes to work Allan can SC by using his finesse
Or by using his strength like on this play where Allen attacks the drop by throwing his full body weight into Lopez Allen scored a career-high 30 points against Milwaukee and here’s another one-on-one Blow by inuries have hurt this Buck team as Allan Works to the back and he got right
Around four injuries obviously but most surprisingly Allan punished the bucks with his shooting Yes you heard that right Allan let it fly from mid-range with no hesitation cashing in a handful of jumpers in the first quarter to counter the drop good defense they had to have somebody for an outl Allan Banks
It in every which way for Jared Allen and while this type of volume isn’t normal for Allen his efficiency against Milwaukee is no fluke Allen is shooting 56% from the 10 to 16 ft range of the season and 45% for his career overall I wouldn’t expect Allen to be a lights out
Three-point shooter anytime soon but but his confidence has been steadily growing and his 70% free throw clip suggests there might be some untapped potential here either way Allen is on an absolute Rampage over the last few weeks and if he keeps this up I think Allen deserves
An honest chance at being named an NBA Allstar for the second time in his career LT Works around P has his head up in toward mascala how about that wow what a nice no look p
Jarrett Allen has been on a rampage recently. Can he work his way back into the NBA All-Star Game? Here is his case for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

I agree!
Facing increased responsbility due to injuries, he has responded in every way. His passing especially displays his finesse and bbIQ. IMO, it would be a crime if he doesn't get all-starred given how he's carried the team at stretches.
So happy to see him silencing all the doubters after last year’s playoffs. He’s still one of the best centers in the NBA
I'm screaming for more of that face up J. Seems solid from about 12 to 15ft
When’s the next episode of the junkyard pod dropping? The irregular schedule is killing me
My favorite Cav since Daugherty. Great when offence ran through him against Dallas.
Not 7 footer, 6'9". His fro is fooling you😅
