Earlier this month, this year’s crop of incoming NBA draftees descended upon Tarrytown, New York to take part in what has become a summer tradition — the league’s annual rookie photoshoot. While there, the top first-year guys, including Utah Jazz rook Grayson Allen, were snapped in their pro jerseys for the first time.
Between sessions, they also participated in another rite of passage for incoming players, the NBA Rookie Survey. And despite the fact that he was drafted in the 20s, Allen received votes in multiple categories.
At times during his college career, the Duke legend was touted as one of the NCAA’s best clutch shooters.
