Jarrett Allen

Jarrett Allen is one of those guys who just makes you a believer the moment you see him play. A 6-foot-9 center, born in San Diego and raised in Texas, who went one year at Texas before the Brooklyn Nets grabbed him 22nd overall in 2017 — honestly, a steal in hindsight. He bounced to Cleveland in that massive James Harden trade in 2021, and that's where he really found his footing. What I love about Allen is the combination of rim protection and surprisingly soft touch for a big man — he's not out there just being a bruiser, he's actually skilled. Still only 28 and already a cornerstone of the Cavaliers, it feels like his best basketball is still ahead of him. Root for this guy.
