Former NBA celebrity and present Turner Sports activities character Charles Barkley really thinks Allen needs to be Cleveland’s second offensive choice, and he stated the massive man is the staff’s second-best participant behind Mitchell, per NBACentral.

Allen has been regarded through the years as somebody who will get buckets primarily by hustling — getting out in transition, securing offensive rebounds and transferring with out the ball — however Barkley clearly feels he’s greater than that as a participant.
Barkley stated he anticipated Allen to be averaging 20 factors and 10 rebounds a recreation by now.
The Cavs have turn out to be a authentic playoff staff during the last two seasons ever since Mitchell arrived in a stunning commerce, and now they’re in search of a technique to crack the elite pantheon of the Japanese Convention.
They misplaced in 5 video games within the second spherical of final season’s playoffs to the eventual NBA champion Boston Celtics, and so they’re clearly not on the extent of the Celtics, New York Knicks or Philadelphia 76ers proper now.
They are going to want some offensive progress from Allen and Mobley to be able to have an actual shot at taking a authentic step ahead this season.
