Grayson Allen considering a return to Duke for senior season
The most controversial player in college basketball may be returning for another season.
While three of his Duke teammates have declared for the NBA draft, Grayson Allen is considering a return to school, according to ESPN’s Jeff Goodman.
Duke still waiting on the Grayson Allen decision. Was told recently that there was a decent chance he would come back for senior year.

Harry Giles, Jayson Tatum and Luke Kennard have all announced their intention to go pro.
Allen is an interesting case because he could probably rebuild his draft stock with a more successful senior season.
Allen enjoyed a stellar sophomore season in which he averaged 21.6 points per game on 46.6 percent shooting. However, his recently completed junior season was forgettable, as Allen averaged 14.5 points per game on 39.5 percent shooting.
The Jacksonville native was stripped of his captain status at Duke, suspended for his tripping problem, and started coming off the bench. He might be best served returning to school to remind pro teams and NBA scouts of what he can do.
