I know I got roasted for my critique of Timmy Allen after the Tech game, but last night still showed that he can disappear at the worst times. He simply isn't that good when playing against bigger, more physical players.
Tech game 1: 5 points (2/6 shooting)
Tech game 2: 6 pts (2/6 shooting)
Kansas game 2: 9 points (2/15 shooting)
Purdue: 2 points (1/6 shooting)
If he really wants to make it to the NBA, he would be wise to take a page from the PJ Tucker playbook and reinvent himself as a shooting guard. (Of course PJ is more athletic and has a 7' wingspan, but their sneaky game around the basket is similar).
At times Timmy will bring it up the court and looks decent doing so. He isn't a bad distributor. If he REALLY worked on his ball handling and especially his shooting, maybe he can make the transition. I mean, he only made four 3s all year. That is no way to get to the NBA as a 6'6 player. If I was Beard, that would be my selling point to get him to stay another year.
