Anthony Puccio: Me: “What are you missing the most with @Spencer Dinwiddie out?” Jarrett Allen: “Just Spencer’s defen—not defense, Spencer don’t play no defense (laughs). Nah, just Spencer driving to the rim, Spencer being able to create space. Just him all around.”
Brian Lewis: Atkinson spoke of Jarrett Allen’s willingness to risk getting dunked on to protect the rim: “There’s a certain humility. He knows how important his rim protection is for us…I’m sure it bothers him a little, but it’s not stopping him from going to block shots.” #Nets
“I’m on the list forever now.” – Jarrett Allen on rejecting LeBron James, who has attempted more than 1,800 dunks over the course of his career, but has only been blocked 9 times
Jarrett Allen: I don’t even know how good I can be. A lot of people say I have a lot of potential. I don’t really know what that means. I’m just trying to work my hardest just to see what eventually that potential can become. Q: How good do you want to be? The best (laugh). That’s a tough thing to achieve, but there’s no reason to train the way I’m training if I don’t want to be the best.
What is the key to blocking shots? Jarrett Allen: Timing. And knowing your personnel. You have to know when they’re gonna jump. There’s certain players, more Euro players that will go same foot, same hand, and that will throw you off, so you have to know that’s their thing.
