Is Grayson Allen ready to contribute right away?

Look, I’ll be honest. I did not want the Utah Jazz to draft Grayson Allen in the draft over the summer. I was pretty disappointed on draft night and was honestly confused. It just didn’t feel like a typical Dennis Lindsey draft pick to me.

Allen look ok during the summer league, but he certainly didn’t stand out. So far my experience with him through college and up to that point was just meh. But I did notice some skills that I thought might translate better to the NBA game.

Similar to Kyle Kuzma, I think Grayson will look like a different player in the NBA than he did in college based off his (albeit limited) preseason limits.
