The Brooklyn Nets’ third year center, Jarrett Allen, was awarded NBA Summer League First Team honors Monday, capping off an impressive stretch of games for the promising young big man.
Allen, 21, averaged 16.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks on 61 percent shooting across five summer league games, registering a 30-point game in the process and multiple double-doubles. Allen helped lead the Nets all the way to the semi-finals.
Throughout summer league, Allen constantly dealt with questions about why he was playing after having established himself as a starter on a playoff team last season.
