Grayson James Allen is an American professional basketball player for the Phoenix Suns of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played four years of college basketball at Duke University, where he helped Duke win a national championship in 2015. He has often been called one of Duke's best players of the 2010s. Allen was drafted with the 21st overall pick in the 2018 NBA draft by the Utah Jazz, where he played for one season before being traded to the Memphis Grizzlies in July 2019. In August 2021, Allen was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks, where he played for two seasons before being traded to the Suns in September 2023.

Defensive Game
Adequate defender who has improved considerably since college. Best against opposing shooters. Can struggle against quicker guards in isolation but competes hard.
Intangibles
High basketball IQ, particularly on offense. Reads defenses well to find open spots, understands off-ball timing, and rarely forces bad shots.

Did You Know?
Allen became one of the most discussed players in college basketball history at Duke — drawing passionate reactions from fans on both sides — and channeled that pressure into motivation that fueled his professional career.
Despite being labeled a villain by opposing fans during college, Allen has become a respected NBA champion and professional, proof that competitive intensity can be a powerful asset when properly directed.
Allen shot an eye-opening 41.8% from three-point range in his first full season with Milwaukee in 2020-21, helping the Bucks win the NBA championship and putting to rest questions about whether his shooting would translate from college.
He was reunited with coach Mike Budenholzer in Phoenix — the same coach who helped him flourish in Milwaukee — giving Allen an immediate familiarity with the system and philosophy in his new home.
