Is Grayson Allen Returning To Form For Duke?

Its been two months since Grayson Allen's shots have gone in the basket  going back to November 14th when  then top ranked Duke played  then second ranked Michigan State in Chicago at the State Farm Champions Classic in Chicago where he led Duke with 37 points.

On Saturday as Duke dominated Pittsburgh for the second time this season in Durham shots were beginning to fall for the senior from Jacksonville Florida.

Grayson Allen stepped confidently into the 3-point shot near the Duke bench and let it fly -- only to see the ball go halfway down and then roll out of the rim. The senior could only chuckle. "according to http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=22724&SPID=1845&DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=211693531&DB_OEM_ID=4200

It's close, he figures. Don't change anything. "according to http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=22724&SPID=1845&DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=211693531&DB_OEM_ID=4200

That much was clear during the fifth-ranked Blue Devils' 81-54 win against Pittsburgh on Saturday. Allen scored 16 points in the rout, his best output since the start of the 2018 calendar year and a sign that maybe -- just maybe -- Allen is nearing the end of this monthlong rebellion by his suddenly wayward shot. "according to http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=22724&SPID=1845&DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=211693531&DB_OEM_ID=4200

"I've had like nine of those in the last three games," Allen said of the second-half 3 that rolled out, "that just hit the front of the rim, go halfway in and bounce out. When you're about a half-inch off like that, there's nothing you need to change or anything. You just keep shooting it." "according to http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=22724&SPID=1845&DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=211693531&DB_OEM_ID=4200

How will Grayson Allen perform in Duke's next game  on the road Tuesday night as they travel to Winston Salem to take on Wake Forest?

One thing is for sure Grayson Allen is showing signs of returning to form for a Duke team that is made up of one senior, two juniors , four sophomores and seven freshman.
