Grayson Allen agreed to a four-year, $70 million contract extension with the Suns, which is already a good deal for an average annual salary of more than $15 million per year for a role player of his level. The Suns' choice to reach an early contract extension with him at this stage is clearly a reward for his credit.
The Suns were supposed to be the most difficult schedule in the league at the end of the season, and many media people thought they would fall into the playoffs, but the Suns went straight to the playoffs instead of going against the wind, and it was a bit surprising that they played like this, regardless of their playoff prospects.

As for Allen himself, he averaged 13.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3 assists per game this season, shooting 49.9% from the field and 46.1% from three-point range, which is the first in the league.
Allen is both efficient and productive, averaging 2.7 three-pointers per game for the Suns and the most reliable fourth-point scorer around the Big Three. With an annual salary of just over $8 million this season and nearly double the annual salary of his new contract, it can be said that Grayson Allen has found his place in Phoenix.
Fans who are familiar with Grayson Allen should remember that when he played in Milwaukee, he had a very bad reputation and was repeatedly on the hot search for overly vicious foul moves, in fact, he was "notorious" as early as his college days, and he has always been the image of a "villain" in the basketball world. However, after coming to Phoenix, it seems that he has reformed himself, and there are almost no similar actions after wearing the Suns jersey.
Grayson Allen was not a heinous player in the first place, and now he deserves a chance to be forgiven by the outside world if he doesn't repeat his previous dirty moves and play well. Returning to the Suns, a first-round game against the Timberwolves is arguably the best outcome and helps them go further. Allen received the good news of an early contract extension at this stage, and it is believed that he will play harder in the playoffs.
