Beyond the game

Allen built his profile at Duke — a 2015 NCAA champion whose fiery, intense play (and a series of controversial tripping incidents) defined his college reputation before he matured into a respected pro. Married to former Duke soccer player and NWSL professional Morgan Reid, he became a father in 2024.

His on-court identity is elite shooting — a 6-foot-3 guard whose high-volume, high-efficiency three-point shooting (a career 40% and an NBA-leading .461 season) and free-throw stroke make him a premier floor-spacer. Not a primary playmaker, his value is spacing and shooting; his career-high 42-point game shows the ceiling when he heats up.
