Thanks. FWIW, Grayson would be the player I'd pick too. But I might be biased.

I love how Allen "has the attitude similar to Draymond Green". C'mon now. One likes to trip and the other likes to kick dudes in the nuts.

Great praise for him though. @Mark Gastineau @denniden @dukiejay @HuffyJB @dukedevilz . Y'all seen on the national board where that UK homer keeps saying that only Duke fans would want Allen on their team and that even some Duke fans (he knows) don't want him on the team?

Mark , you should post this over there.

Someone already posted it over there. I was surprised Isaiah Briscoe didn't make the list.:D

Mark does post there. That idiot also said that it just goes to show you that coaches only care about winning if they would take a kid like Allen with his "character issues." Unreal.

This was my personal favorite from him:
If Demarcus Cousins shed his bad boy image then Allen can shed his douche image. Not sure it's possible while at Duke though.

Grayson feeds off being the villain.


I hope he has that Kyle Singler grin on him all season. Maybe he will greet the opposing players with a wink and a grin this year and just tell them "Relax. It's not you this game. " OFC

Grayson certainly shoves and plays on emotion to the point of doing things out of spite or for revenge, but he doesn't have any character flaws. From all accounts he is killing it in the classroom and is a quiet, humble guy off the court. Comparing him to Cousins, who once decked an opposing fan for accidentally nudging him after a game, or to Draymond, who decked a guy in a restaurant for "verbally disrespecting him," is just reaching. Grayson is simply our Greivis Vasquez or Dillon Brooks. Other fans are going to call him a douche, and we (like him) should just laugh it off and feel good about Duke basketball.

I love Grayson's play. He's got a touch of Laettner in him.

But wait Grayson is a punk and Harry is obviously still injured and only playing to serve Coach K's ego.....THR told us so, I am all confused now

Perhaps our newest, bestest buddy (and big toe) GunslingerPenis can shed some light on this?

I am excited Grayson came back. Never expected it.

Great athlete, great competitor, great kid. Any coach would be stupid not to want him on his team.
