Tapping The Keg Trade Review: Grayson Allen Joins the Bucks in a Great Move by Horst
Grayson Allen is now a member of the Milwaukee Bucks. Allen is one of the most notable college basketball players in the last decade. He rubs a lot of people the wrong way. And especially people in the State of Wisconsin because he was on the Duke team that beat the Wisconsin Badgers in the National Championship game. Allen gets traded to the Bucks for Sam Merrill and a couple of second-round picks. This is a great, great move by Jon Horst. The Badgers fans are going to take a little time to embrace him, but I have a feeling he will have a vital role with this team. Here’s my review from yesterday

Some might point out that the Bucks have a lot of similar players with Donte DiVencenzo, Rodney Hood, Pat Connaughton, Jordan Nwora, Semi Ojeleye, and now Allen. But honestly, that doesn’t concern me for two reasons. One, the Bucks were fucked last season after Donte went down with an injury. Now, they did win a championship, but their guard/wing depth wasn’t good. Now it is. The second is DiVencenzo might not be ready to go at the start of the season.
Cannot wait for the first scrap that Allen and Bobby Portis get in with another squad.
