Since the trade for James Harden (last month), Allen has played even better.
Harden is an elite facilitator, which makes the game easier for a player such as Allen.
ClutchPoints wrote (on February 21): “But can we talk about Jarrett Allen for a second? Allen was having a pretty underwhelming season until The Beard arrived. Harden is feeding this man, and he has completely leveled up, dropping great numbers and looking dangerous in the last 5 games. 🔸22.6 PPG 🔸11.2 RPG 🔸1.2 APG 🔸76.3% FG”
