Allen ended his outstanding night with 26 points; the last time he scored more than 26 was during the 2022 playoffs when he was with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Now, the newly acquired Grayson Allen is leading the Suns in three pointers, with 25 already made this season.

This was also not the first time that Allen went off against the Bulls.

As a matter of fact, in his last six games against Chicago, Allen has scored at least 10 points and held a +59 while on the court during this span.

With Bradley Beal not fully healthy and Devin Booker still sidelined due to an injury, Allen’s emergence as an important man in the Suns starting rotation has helped them out tremendously early on this season.

Some of the best fan reactions on social media to his recent career-high night against the Bulls:

Grayson Allen this season: 13.3 ppg 4.8 rpg 3 apg 49/51/100%
Jusuf Nurkic this season: 10.5 ppg 9.3 rpg 4.8 apg 1 bpg 1.5 spg

Cannot understate Grayson Allen’s value to this team.

That man has been a sniper. The Suns desperately needed a guy like that.
