CHICAGO -- Texas’ Jarrett Allen, who has heard he could go anywhere from 10th to 20th in the first round of the draft, said he’s trying to show NBA teams that his laid-back personality won’t be a drawback as a pro.
He especially needs to grow a bit of an edge on the defensive side, he said.
“Teams have told me the first two years, my offense isn’t going to be as polished, so I’m going to have to have defense first,” he said. “That’s how I’m going to get on the court.”
Allen, by the way, has not yet met with the Mavericks.
