Cavs Rumors: Jarrett Allen Viewed as Franchise Center amid Drummond Trade Buzz

Cleveland acquired Allen in the January blockbuster trade that sent James Harden to the Brooklyn Nets. He is averaging 13.2 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game in 15 appearances with the Cavs, including 11 off the bench.
