Ty Ty is looking better every game at the point. Made some excellent passes for easy buckets in the UNC game.
What about Allen helping out as a Stretch 4?
- Thread starter Kybluedude
- Start date
Dumbest shit I’ve read on hear all week. And that’s saying something
I’m not! Neither put up great numbers. One gets to play primetime minutes and one gets to play walk on minutes although in reality the walk on minutes player has better numbers.

If he’s that much better than Mintz and Brooks, why isn’t he playing more? Surely Cal would find a place for Allen on the court if he was a producer. The fact is, he’s not a producer. He’s just not.
Cal doesn't mind running 3 or 4 bigs, so Allen could split some minutes from the 2-4 based on who we are playing, if Cal wants to give him any playing time.
So if one of the walk on players plays 1 minute and makes a basket he is shooting 100% then he should be playing ahead of all the other players shooting less than 100%. Got it.
Ah yea Juzang. The guard who was getting 15-20 mins a game at the end of year. Juzang who had Tyrese Maxey and IQ in front of him. Yup Cal massively misused him. Allen isn’t even half the player Juzang was as a freshmen.
Allen is a spot up shooter, that has been bricking and air balling all season. Not many other basketball skills, subpar athleticism. Yes let’s put more players on the floor that don’t have basketball skills. He’s a turnover machine, who would make Boston look great.
hopeful Allen continues to work hard because I think his time is coming in the blue & white. If he can start hitting shots he can carve a rotational role out on this team.
I love that people literally believe that Cal purposely doesn't play someone who could make this huge difference in the success of the team, in winning games, in potentially getting to a Final Four.
Shouldn't really be surprised given the state of what people believe today but it must take a special kind of stupid to think that. I can't even comprehend what being that dumb must be like.

Juzang had Quickley and Maxey in front of him. Which one of those are you sitting so Juzang could play?
Yup I’m well aware. Thus me saying his role was increasing at the end of the year. He was getting more shots and minutes, while being behind two great guards. Almost like Calipari knew he was talented but two better guards were in front of him who couldn’t come off the floor.
Which is plenty for a guy with 2 1st round draft picks in front of him.
I’ll never get the obsession with the 11th man’s minutes…
I do agree with Maxey and Quickley playing in front of Juzang. I don’t think Mintz deserves twice the minutes as Allen.
And I think Hopkins and Toppin should take the majority of Brooks minutes. He has not improved at all in his 3 seasons. And ONE assist to 13 turnovers deserves a seat on the bench!
Allen needs to work hard in practice everyday and improve. Hopefully, he sticks around and becomes a veteran contributor next year and the next.
So you’re saying he’s 6 4 or 6 5? How tall do you say Brooks is?
Does everybody we play have a 6 9 225lb 4? No they don’t.
Here's an idea. Why don’t we try to make them match up with us?
I’m not saying 25 minutes at the 4 but in some instances he could help. Certainly could have against ND. We got very little from our 4 spot there and out rebounded. 2-19 on 3s!
Toppin and Collins are limited on offense. No outside threat at all.
Give him a chance to help the team at a spot where we are struggling. It might help. Doesn’t hurt to try some new stuff. Kids mature and get better if you stick with them. He’s off to a slow start but it’s not permanent. He’s hit 7 3s on the road. There’s ability there.
Im sure you’re still upset Hayes and Daniels played inside for us at their 6 6 height.
so many people blinded that he’s a Kentucky kid. Im thankful Richards wasn’t from KY, as man this board would have been a mess calling for more PT during his freshmen and sophomore years. Allen lacks some very important basketball skills, let’s sit back and let the kid mature and grow.
I had read somewhere that Allen had grown over the last 6 months or so and was at least 6-7 and closer to 6-8 now. I can't remember where I read that. But even if Allen isn't a full 6-8, he could be a possible option at the 4. If Cal wants to the 4 out, 1 in offense that he talked about last spring, Allen could be a possibility. Allen just needs to make some shots. One thing I do know is this- Cal isn't going to take a chance on that kind of thing if Allen hasn't shown he is making some shots again. 22% from 3 (6-27) on the season isn't gonna cut it. I hope Allen gets his chance and makes the most of it.
I have read the same thing here ,in a few more posts Allen will be the same size as Wheeler according to some. Playing a stretch 4 isn't going to happen for him though.
LOL at this comparison. Hayes and Daniels were an ENTIRELY different kind of 6’6” than Allen is.
That was just some bogus post somebody had here. There’s no evidence to back it up. Just message board bullshit.

I think I have read posts from people who attended games and have seen the players in person say that Allen is as tall or taller than Brooks. Folks who have been to games chime in on this one.
So, 6-6, 6-5, 6-9, 6-3, 5-9 can not compete at desired times during game?. 4 scorers , quick point, bruiser scorer/rebounder..
Sure if we are playing Bellermine or if 4 of those guys are shooting 40% or better from 3 but probably not against most D1 teams when you have 1 guy shooting above that on the season.
May have changed outcome of ND game....but we will never know, will we..because Allen sucks.
No, not against anyone decent and not if Allen is playing the 4.
If Allen’s name was Joe Smith and he was from Kansas City you would be laughing at the nonsense you (and others) are posting.
You have to be trolling...have to.. spurts, not a dam# starting lineup. Protecting a lead with shooters. Gah, some of you suck at this. At least one of you HAVE to be Cal!
Again, why would Cal do this with Allen when Sharpe is arriving? Can some of the more vocal Allen-nites riddle me that?
I want to hear the argument Allen should be the stretch 4 over Sharpe.

Take away the MSU game last year and Allen is 30/95 from three the last two years.
That’s 31%. That’s terrible.
He’s not a scorer or a shooter. He’s an occasional role player who can (sometimes) make a few threes in a row.
No you aren't quoting 1/2 of this board. Saying someone doesn't deserve to play over others and saying they suck are 2 different things.
Last year he was a point guard. This year he’s a stretch four. Next year he’ll be our starting quarterback.
