Grayson Allen was the most disliked player in college basketball due to his frequent on-court antics, such as tripping and kicking players, and flopping (and also a lot people just hate Duke, of course).
And Allen hasn’t taken long to stir things up on the court at the NBA level! Or, at least in the Summer League.
Allen — a first-round pick by the Jazz — got into it with Trae Young — the fifth overall pick — in Thursday night’s Jazz-Hawks Summer League game in Salt Lake City.

Now, the real test will obviously come when Allen’s antics anger veteran NBA players in the real games.
As for how Allen and Young performed as basketball players on Thursday? Not so well. Allen shot 2-of-13 from the field with nine points (though he did chip in eight assists), and Young shot 3-of-16 from the field (with seven assists).
