11. Jarrett Allen

Jarrett Allen was a proven commodity in Brooklyn, but there were pieces that had to give to engineer the trade of James Harden to the Nets.  Allen was one of those components, and as part of a four-team trade, he was off to Cleveland.

The move seemed like a step down in terms of overall talent for Allen, but time is telling a different story.  Allen’s numbers in his first full season with the Cavaliers (2021-22) were the best of his career, where he added his first All-Star Game appearance, and posted career-highs in Points (16.1), Rebounds (10.8) and PER (23).  Allen slipped a bit the following season (14.3 PPG and 9,8 RPG), but came back with a double-double average last season (10.5 Rebounds & 16.5 Points).   More importantly, he anchored he Cavs to a decent playoff run, and is still a very young player.
