Overall, Grayson sank an impressive 40.4 percent from beyond the 3-point arc for the season in developing into a potent long-range shooter.

Before joining the NBA, Grayson starred at Duke University where he was one of the most decorated collegiate players in recent history. During his time at Duke, Grayson won a national championship, earned 2nd team All-American Honors, 1st team All-ACC Honors, and is one of only three players in the program’s history to be a four-time All-ACC Academic honoree.

In high school, Grayson was named a McDonald’s All-American and won the McDonald’s All-American Slam Dunk Contest, jumping over future Duke teammate Jahlil Okafor. He also won the Florida State Championship for Providence High School while living in Jacksonville.

Off the court, Allen is passionate about music, his family, and of course – gaming. His current favorites besides Apex Legends and Call of Duty, also include Rocket League and FIFA. You can follow Grayson’s gaming pursuits on Twitch and Instagram.
