Grayson James Allen[1] (born October 8, 1995) is an American college basketball player for Duke University.
High School
Allen was selected as a McDonald’s All-American in 2014, out of Providence School in Jacksonville, Florida, where he won a state championship in 2013.[2] He won the McDonald's All-American Slam Dunk Contest, jumping over future Duke teammate Jahlil Okafor.[3]
College career
During Allen's freshman season, he averaged 4.4 points per game[4] and was named to the ACC all-academic team.[4]
Allen became a major contributor in the playoffs. On April 7, 2015, he played in the 2015 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship Game, scoring 16 points, including 8 straight.[5] After the game, Allen was cited as one of the main reasons for Duke's win by commentators.[6][7] Coach Mike Krzyzewski agreed, saying, "We were kind of dead in the water. We were nine points down and Grayson just put us on his back."[6]
During the 2015–16 season, Allen was one of the best offensive players in the ACC, averaging 21 points per game[8] and shooting 43% from three-point range.[9]
Entering his junior season, Allen was considered one of the top returning players in college basketball. He was named to the Associated Press preseason All-America team[10] and was the ACC media's pick as preseason ACC Player of the Year.[11]
Tripping Incidents
Allen received national attention for intentionally tripping Louisville's Raymond Spalding on February 8, 2016, which led to a widely read ESPN.com article asking if he was, “the next hated white Duke player.”[12] In the second game against Louisville that season, he was elbowed in the head while scuffling for a ball on the ground[13] and later received a technical and ejection for yelling at a referee following his fifth foul on a charge call.[14] On Thursday, February 25, 2016, in the closing seconds of a 15-point win against FSU, Allen tripped FSU's Xavier Rathan-Mayes.[15] A day later, Allen received a reprimand from the ACC for his second tripping incident in less than a month.
Prior to the start of his junior season, Allen stated that he was ready to put the tripping incidents behind him.[16] He then tripped Elon Phoenix's Steven Santa Ana during their December 21 game. Allen was charged with a technical on the play.[17][18] The next day, Coach Krzyzewski suspended Allen from the team indefinitely.[19]
