TORONTO — Jarrett Allen looks at older teammate Ed Davis and sees a mentor.
Davis looks at his young protégé and sees something else. He sees a potential star.
“Just trying to help him out as much as possible. I got big expectations for him,” Davis said. “I think he’s a $100 million player, so he’s got to go get it.”
Fortunately for the Nets, they’re a ways away from having to pay that — they have already picked up next year’s option and almost certainly will do the same for 2020-21 on a player who might be general manager Sean Marks’ biggest draft steal.
