SALT LAKE CITY — Grayson Allen arrived in Salt Lake City on June 4 for a pre-draft workout at the practice facility.
A couple weeks later, the former Duke star was drafted 21st overall by the Utah Jazz.
He returned to Zions Bank Basketball Campus on Friday for his first official practice, this time as a Jazzman.
“It feels real now,” Allen said, smiling.
Allen is set to make his Jazz debut in the 2018 Utah Jazz Summer League at 7 p.m. Monday, July 2, against the San Antonio Spurs. He can hardly wait.
“It’s going to be my first time really playing an NBA style game with all the small differences that are in the NBA game from the college game,” Allen said.
