Jarrett Allen – #22 to Brooklyn

Sports Illustrated has Jarrett Allen way down the list at #22 to the Brooklyn Nets.

We would be shocked to see Allen fall to the 20-range. But, he would be able to work with one of the most skilled big man in the NBA, Brook Lopez. So, there is an opportunity to learn and grow.

But, Brooklyn is a bad team that is picking deep in the first round. Allen wants to avoid this area by staying in the middle of the first round selected by a team that just missed the Playoffs or just made the Playoffs. Both types of teams need a player like Allen who could push them to the next level.
