Allen is currently averaging 7.5 points per game on 37.2% from beyond the arc, and has started in each of her 11 games played. She has silky smooth shot mechanics that are among the best in the league, and has been put in a situation to succeed under head coach Nate Tibbetts.
Allen is 31-years-old, playing the most minutes of her career. She’s proven herself to be one of the WNBA’s best shooters, and will surely rise the ranks as the years go on.
