Here’s Phoenix Suns head coach Jordan Ott on what impressed him the most about Grayson Allen’s career-night after Monday’s 121-98 home win vs. the New Orleans Pelicans (42 points/2 rebounds/4 assists/3 steals/12-17 FG/10-15 3-PT/8-10 FT/27:31 MP/+22 +/-).
*achieved Suns’ franchise record in 3PM*
*set career-high for points and three-pointers made*
*tied career-best in FGM*
(via Phoenix Suns):
“He just shoots it from so far away with ease. We’re trying to get him to shoot more. His career numbers are… he always shoots it at a high clip. We want him to take some ones where he doesn’t feel quite as comfortable all the time — but we know what he shoots — we need him to shoot more. So we’ve tried to stress (to) him (to) shoot tougher ones, more contested, off the dribble, as well as get downhill, get in the paint, make plays. So yeah, I mean, it was awesome to see how his teammates push for him. Such an unassuming, quiet, well-mannered, organized… he’s always the adult or another adult in the room. So yeah, it was great to see it come to fruition.”
