Sweep the Legs Grayson


 Sweep the Legs Grayson

How good are the defending champions? Well, they are really good, scarily good. The Bucks made minimal changes to their roster during the off season, adopting a "run it back" mindset. However, that does not mean the team did not change. 
    The most obvious changes to the rotation is the loss of PJ Tucker. The shoe king himself left and signed with Miami. How will this impact the regular season, but more importantly how will it impact the playoffs? Tucker was a key part of the playoffs, mainly for his defense. Take a moment and ponder if PJ Tucker was not there
to constantly harass Kevin Durant in the Nets series do they get out of that round? NO! PJ Tucker was the backbone of the defensive charge attacking the playoffs, now he is gone. 

    However, the Bucks made the best signing they could have in the mission of replacing PJ Tucker. Welcome to Milwaukee Grayson Allen! The villain the Bucks are lacking, the man who is okay getting dirty and doing anything for a ring. 

    Allen averaged 10 points on almost 40% shooting with three rebounds and two assists. This does not do Grayson Allen's game justice. Do you need a trip call Allen, do you need a kick call Allen? He is Johnny, who is ready to sweep the legs of karate kid and take out any barrier in the way. Dirty, borderline disrespectful, but efficient basketball. He is the perfect replacement for PJ Tucker. 
    Allen has been caught multiple times tripping or kicking opponents on the basketball court. Most of his troubles came from his time at Duke, but his college shenanigans did not stay in North Carolina. 
    Allen has had a feud with Young Star Trae Young. They have scuffled several times in the NBA, but eventually the battle came to the public eye. Young tweeted a video showing Allen tripping him. Young tweeted, "Damn... tell me what y’all see!! Smh! this gotta stop.! #ifyoudontknownowyouknow." The battle got so bad the Trae Young had to blow it up! Grayson Allen then apologized, whether that is sarcastic or not only Allen knows. 
    Welcome to the Bucks Grayson Allen, go get them another ring.
