He’s going to help us a lot, so we’re just excited. ” Crowder is out tonight – 1:02 PM Grayson Allen had plenty to say about #Bucks‘ deadline: “I wouldn’t say I was worried about it. I’m good with whatever happened. It had been a discussion since the beginning of the season, where my name had come up a lot.

I know what Jae can do as a defender, so he’ll be important. ” – 1:08 PM Asked Allen to reflect on Tatum’s growth since Duke: “He’s obviously extremely talented, and now, it’s more than talent, he’s kind of risen above to one of the top levels in the league … last year, leading his team in the playoffs and now what he’s done so far this season…” – 1:03 PM Allen on Jae Crowder: “Jae’s now been in every city I’ve been in in the NBA, so it’s nice to see a familiar face.
