In the latest regular season MVP probability rankings, Jokic, Alphabet Brother and Embiid are still leading, but fans have found a special person in the list. Cavaliers interior Allen was in the top ten, which surprised many people. Allen has performed well this season, averaging a double-double of 16 points and 11 rebounds per game, shooting second in the league and fifth in the league in interior scoring. If it weren't for the fierce competition in the East, Allen would have been named an All-Star. Aaron's entry into the regular season MVP probability list is really not empty, and the major media have a full understanding of his performance. Allen's influence on the pitch is very large and is the cornerstone of the team's interior line.
Allen's performance this season can start from two angles, starting with offense, Allen has averaged only 16 points per game this season, and does not cut 20 or 30 points like many of those stars. But Allen is an incredibly efficient player at the end of the interior. As long as Allen enters the interior line, he can cause a lot of damage, and his shooting percentage this season has reached a staggering 66.7%, ranking second in the league. Allen doesn't have the super self-attacking ability of Embiid and Jokic, but there are so many finishing means for Allen near the inside line.
Dunks aside, he did a good job of throwing, hooking, and tackling the layup, and Allen's incision consciousness was very astute. He knows to run for opportunities, and the Cavaliers have Garland, a talented defender, and the two are always tacit and skilled. Allen had a very easy chance to finish. It is worth mentioning that Allen's performance near the mid-range shooting has also improved significantly, for example, this season he has hit 8 goals near the middle distance, and 8 shots 6 in the mid-range range at the top of the arc, it seems that the shooting has also improved.
Defensive end Allen can only be described in one word: comprehensive. He can do a lot of things, ranking 8th in the league in rebounds, 10th in the league in blocks, and averaging 5th in the league for interfering shots per game. As an inside player, he also has close to 1 steal. What is even more valuable is that Allen averaged less than 2 fouls per game under the premise of playing 33 minutes per game, and his defense was very clean and clean. Looking at the league as a whole, it's not too many inside players to foul less than 2 times.
Allen propped up the Cavaliers' interior line, and this season's Cavaliers played an excellent record and Aren's inseparable. Allen has some contributions that cannot be reflected by statistics, such as he is good at grabbing rebounds with opponents and can set up solid cover for teammates. These are things that data can't represent. A 23-year-old rising star has already played the MVP level of influence, which shows that Allen's room for improvement is very large. If it weren't for Mobley's addition and the revival of veteran Love this year, Allen would have more opportunities and the data would have looked better.
It's really lucky to see Aaron traded to the Cavaliers. Just as the so-called Saion lost his horse, some people say that Allen left the Nets and missed the opportunity to compete with the team for the championship. But today's Cavaliers are also a team with the ability to compete for the championship, and Allen is a rising star. As long as you keep healthy and progress slowly, Arun's future must be unlimited. Maybe one day in the future, he can really become a regular season MVP level star. Dear readers, how do you evaluate Allen's performance this season?
