It’s January 31 and Jarrett Allen is working with Nets assistant Bret Brielmaier two hours before tip off. Allen is set to make his second start in the NBA.
The 6’11” rookie goes in for a weak layup and Brelmaier stops the workout, looks right at Jarrett and says emphatically, “You know where that ball is going? Right into the stands!”
Allen gathers himself and rattles the rim with a dunk on the next drill. Brelmeir praises him. Progress.
The Brooklyn Nets knew they got a steal with Jarrett Allen with the 22nd pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.
