One of the most well-known players in the upcoming NBA Draft is former Duke star Grayson Allen. Believe it or not, he may be one of the first 30 players selected.
Adrian Wojnarowski speculated that the 22-year-old has improved his draft stock in recent months (via ESPN):
Several teams have been linked to the former Duke star, including the Utah Jazz and Boston Celtics. Both teams have also had Allen in for a workout as well. We’ve previously written about his potential fit with Utah, where he will be “very much in consideration” when they are on the clock at No. 21.
Allen was collegiate teammates with Boston star Jayson Tatum and may be available when the Celtics are set to make their selection.
Other teams that have been linked to Allen include the Los Angeles Lakers, Brooklyn Nets, Atlanta Hawks, Philadelphia 76ers and Minnesota Timberwolves. He ranks No. 31 overall in our latest aggregate mock draft.
Allen had the best lane agility time (10.31 seconds) among all prospects at the 2018 NBA Combine. Only five prospects had a max better vertical leap (40.5 inches) as well. Allen averaged a career-high 1.7 steals per game last season. Only one player in Allen’s conference had more steals (Syracuse’s Franklin Howard). His offensive box plus-minus and offensive win shares were also the second-best in the ACC, behind only his Duke teammate Marvin Bagley III.
Expect him to emerge as a possible selection for contending teams like the Golden State Warriors as well, considering they’re in win-now mode and he’s an NBA-ready player who can help a team immediately.

NBA ready player 
Well I guess.
Such a high BBIQ and such an LOW emotional IQ.
And what a totally dirty player who needs to "prove" himself worthy before he ever steps onto the floor of an NBA game.
And I don't have a clue as to how he might "prove" himself.
I've never seen anything like this level of cowardly play... but maybe its just me.
Coach K should have dismissed him from the team ages ago to hang onto his own self respect.

I feel there will be better players available at 27.

Awesome. With Manziel gone, this clown will, as of tomorrow, have the most punchable face in pro sports. Why dont we just draft Kelly Anne Conway and Don King so I can just hate our team more thoroughly. Pass. For what it is worth, I dont think we would draft him. I am pulling for DeAnthony Melton from USC.
