The NBA regular season ushered in the Suns vs. 76ers today, and the Suns finally defeated the 76ers 115-102, and the Suns continued to hold the eighth place in the West. In addition to Durant, Booker, and playing well in this game, the team's guard Greson Allen also performed very well, he scored 32 points + 3 rebounds + 5 assists in this game, not only providing firepower for the team on the offensive end, but also Allen on the defensive end. According to statistics, he was 10-of-17 from the field and 9-of-15 from three-point range with a plus/minus of +20 in this game, making him the team's most efficient player.
He made nine three-pointers in this game, the third time this season that he has made nine three-pointers in a single game, second only to Curry's five games this season and second in the league. It is worth noting that this game is the highest score in Allen's last eight games, in which Allen has scored 169 points, averaging 21 points per game, and the team has a 5-3 record. At the same time, he also set a record of six three-pointers in a single game eight times this season, which is tied for the first time in team history, and he is likely to break this record and become the first person in team history to do so.
Allen has scored 13.7 points this season, ranking 88th in the league, and you should know that he averaged only 10 points per game with the Bucks last season, ranking 164th in the league. He has a league-high three-point shooting percentage this season, ranking first in the league at 48.3 percent, and currently hits 180 three-pointers, ranking 18th on the scorer list. At the same time, he also averaged 2.9 three-pointers per game, ranking 19th in the league. On the defensive end, Aaron has strong defensive ability and can also play the role of a defensive spearhead in the face of the opponent's arrow figures.
On the one hand, Allen's offensive end does not possess the ball, which will not affect the shooting of the Big Three, and can also open up space for the team. Defensively, he has earned the trust of head coach Vogel and has taken Gordon's place. Although the defensive action is sometimes too big, causing many people to abuse, and in 2022, he will also be criticized by fans for defending Caruso too much, but after coming to the Suns, his defense has changed a lot. Allen is under contract for just $8 million this season and will be a full free agent when his contract expires this summer.
If the 28-year-old Allen can maintain such three-point ability and defensive ability, then Allen can get a big contract this summer. Based on the current market offer and the value and salary of some previous players, Allen is likely to get a big contract worth four years and $80 million. If the Suns can make a difference in the playoffs, then Allen's contract extension is inevitable. But the problem is that the 80 million contract, the Suns can't get it out, the salaries of the big three in the team have already accounted for most of it, and the team is already paying the luxury tax, and it may be difficult to keep him!
