Duke made him famous twice over. As a freshman in 2015 Allen scored 16 points in the national championship win, and by his sophomore year he was a 21-point scorer — though a string of tripping incidents brought a suspension, a stripped captaincy and a villain's reputation he worked to shed as a restored senior captain. Utah drafted him 21st in 2018.
His Jazz season proved a way station: traded to Memphis in July 2019, he moved on to Milwaukee in 2021 and Phoenix in 2023, and now plays for the Charlotte Hornets. Back at the 2014 McDonald's All-American festivities, he had won the dunk contest by leaping over future Duke teammate Jahlil Okafor.
HOW HE CAME & WENTUtah drafted him 21st overall in 2018 and traded him a year later, in the deal that brought Mike Conley to Salt Lake City.
