Lavoy Allen was once thought to be the odd man out of the Indiana Pacers’ rotation. That all changed when Lavoy proved his worth to head coach Nate McMillan during the preseason.
McMillan originally planned on deploying a nine-man rotation this season.
Allen wasn’t one of them, though.
Lavoy earned a rotation spot for the Pacers after a strong showing in the preseason. Not a lot of points, but he played defense well and grabbed rebounds.
When you look at his stats — this season or any other — they don’t blow you away.
