Cavaliers General Manager: Allen s importance is seriously underestimated, his situation is very similar to Turner

According to the news from American media HoopsHype reporter Michael Scotto, Cleveland Cavaliers general manager Koby Altman talked about the team's inside player Jarrett Allen in an interview with reporters. Altman believes that Allen is a very important player. His value to the team has been seriously underestimated, and he will continue to give Allen enough trust and support.

Altman said: Jarrett Allen has always been a very important player to us, and the situation is still the case now. Altman continued: You can think about Myles Turner's situation at the Indiana Pacers. He has been involved in various transaction rumors before. But now, Turner has become an indispensable part of the Pacers system. In my opinion, this is a great example of insisting on trusting players. Now his performance in the playoffs this season is obvious to everyone, and his outstanding performance is an important factor in the team's great success this season. So from our perspective, we will continue to trust Allen and he will continue to play an important role in the team.

In the NBA regular season this season, Allen maintained full attendance in 82 games. During his 28-minute playing time, he averaged 13.5 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.9 blocks. He also had 1.2 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 70.6%, 0% from three-point shooting percentage and 71.8% from free throws. In the playoffs, Allen played 9 games in total, with 9 playing time per game, and 29 minutes per game, with 13.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.9 blocks, 1.9 turnovers and 1.7 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 72.1% and a free throw percentage of 94.3%.

Allen's performance in the regular season and during the playoffs can basically be maintained at a high level. He can also play his role well and assume a lot of responsibilities on both offense and defense. Allen has good scoring ability at the basket and stable offensive efficiency on the offensive end. He can also provide a lot of support for the team in terms of rebound protection and inside defense. Allen actually lacks sufficient independent scoring and shooting ability on the offensive end, which cannot help the team open up space, and he also has problems with moving speed on the defensive end. However, this is also closely related to the team's failure to protect Allen well. I wonder how the Cavaliers will adjust the lineup this summer. Will Allen continue to stay in the team next season?
