Lavoy Allen
PF, 6’9, 260lbs, 28 years old, 6 years of experience
By the end of the season, Allen had won Jefferson’s rotation spot, which speaks to the surprising dependability of a man who took 168 shots to score 177 points. Limited to the mid-ranger, the extra pass and the gimme offensively, Allen finds his uses by going to the offensive glass, although his lack of foot speed made for a limited impact on perimeter defence. The same can also be said of Jefferson, Seraphin and Christmas. Are all four really needed? Are three? Two? Can Indiana not just pick one?
Player Plan: Expiring $4 million contract. With respect to a decent role player, this is the type of mid-range contract that, if it is not going to be used to structure big deals or deal for some small draft value, should not be given out any longer. Would be worthy of a minimum salary but has not earned above that.

Lavoy Allen - Allen was the third part of the Danny Granger/Evan Turner trade, but has barely improved in three years. He is still one of the most inefficient scorers in the league - he can hit a mid-range shot, but he only takes them, and there's nothing efficient about a mid range jump shot. You have to hit 50% of them just to score a point per possession, with very few foul shots in the process, and Allen has yet to add the three point range to it. On the plus side, the rest of his game outside of scoring is very solid. He picked up his rebounding rate last year, still passes well, and defends through physicality, temperament and IQ rather than length or athleticism. Allen is said to already have agreed a deal to re-sign with the Pacers, which makes plenty of sense, because he is a very solid backup power forward. They can now waive Luis Scola, save money, and lose little.

The Sixers then take Lavoy Allen, a man not featured on many draft boards, at #50. The quickfire picks of college players back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back have seen Jay Bilas dominate the broadcast, giving only a minute's respite between minute-long breakdowns before he's straight back on the horse. In the case of Lavoy, perhaps three words would have sufficed; Udonis Haslem potential.
