Grayson Allen’s future as an NBA player was rarely doubted, skill-wise.
He could score from all three levels, finish through contact, make plays for others, and had a knack for knocking down big shots.
His character, however, left plenty to be desired.
He starred in some controversial moments, being caught on tape with dirty plays over and over.
His reputation preceded him when he entered the league, and it took him a while before finally finding his place.
Now, he’s become one of the most crucial players for the Phoenix Suns, and judging by his latest workout video, he might be in for a breakout season (via ClutchPoints).

The Duke product looks absolutely jacked, and it seems like he’s bulked up significantly in the offseason.
That’s going to make life easier in the paint for him.
Allen got a big payday this offseason after being the third-best player on the team, even ahead of Bradley Beal.
He was a reliable scoring source, particularly from beyond the arc.
And while he’s not particularly a plus-defender, he at least puts some effort and heart on that end of the floor.
Allen could have a long and successful career in this league.
He has toned it down with the dirty plays over the past couple of years, and that should help him clear his name and change the narrative around him.
If that’s not the case, then he might as well keep adding muscle and go full Bill Laimbeer out there while he’s at it.
