Signs point to Allen returning from the NBA Draft process, and he’s a key piece for the team, a quality, versatile wing who rebounds very well. While there is depth among the wings and small forwards with Cloer and Samuels joining, Allen is a proven SEC product and surefire breakout candidate.
Last year’s breakout guard was Holloway, who, after sharing the backcourt duties with Philon last year, will be the No. 1 option. It wouldn’t be a surprise if he averages 20+ ppg and is an SEC Player of the Year candidate. With an expected improved frontcourt to balance things out, Alabama remains a top-tier team in the conference.
