Nets' Jarrett Allen: Supplies superb start vs. Jazz

Allen recorded 19 points (8-9 FG, 3-7 FT), 18 rebounds, three steals, two blocks and an assist across 32 minutes in Tuesday's win over Utah.

Allen's start assigned him to face elite defender Rudy Gobert. He more than held his own, recording eight rebounds and three steals more than the two-time DPOY. Allen had not started across the Nets' seven prior games, but Tuesday's matchup suggests that he may soon receive consistent time in the lineup. His season averages of 10.7 rebounds and 1.7 blocks lead the team, and he's roundly outplayed DeAndre Jordan.
