As a sophomore, Malcolm Allen was featured last season primarily as the backup point guard to Christian Sanders. The 6-foot-1 guard from Las Vegas, Nevada found difficulty settling into his role.
Malcolm Allen did get opportunities to expand his responsibilities and earn more minutes on the floor. He played in 7 games last season in which he played more than 20 minutes.
In the 7 games where he played more than 20 minutes, Allen actually shot the ball worse than when he played less than half of the game. So, why was he awarded more time in those games?
