Tony Allen scored 21 points on 6-of-9 shooting (1-of-2 from downtown, 8-of-10 from the foul line) with six rebounds, two assists, and a steal in 29 minutes on Friday. Marreese Speights played six minutes tonight and many were quick to jump the gun on the value he might have in Memphis. Speight is not a great worker and will have to prove himself, which leaves a roster that will be better served playing small and Allen is a versatile, athletic player to fit that scheme. This is his third straight solid outing, and in 8- and 9-cat leagues we could be looking at a repeat of late last year. Allen is worth a look in said 12-team formats.
