Grayson Allen was born in Jacksonville, Florida and won an NCAA championship as a freshman at Duke before being drafted 21st in 2018. After stops in Utah, Memphis, and Milwaukee, he joined Phoenix and became one of the league's premier shooters.
He led the entire NBA in three-point percentage in 2023-24 (a remarkable .461), pairing elite catch-and-shoot and movement shooting with a career .857 free-throw stroke. In 2025-26 he set a career high with 42 points on a franchise-record 10 three-pointers — a floor-spacing weapon for the Suns.

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.

Elite floor spacing
Allen's value is elite shooting — a 6-foot-3 guard whose high-volume, high-efficiency three-point shooting (a career 40% and an NBA-best .461 season) and free-throw stroke make him a premier floor-spacer. That shooting gravity opens the floor for Booker and Green, exactly the spacing a high-scoring team needs.
A defined role
Not a primary playmaker or defender, Allen's role is specific — space the floor and hit shots, as his career-high 42-point, 10-three game showed the ceiling. His value is doing that one thing at an elite level; on a Suns team built around scoring guards, his shooting is a genuinely valuable, complementary weapon.
