Have recent incidents affected Grayson Allen's draft stock?

     Grayson Allen's draft stock hasn't taken much of a hit because of the tripping incidents. It has been affected more by his play on the court, multiple NBA executives told ESPN over the past two weeks.ESPN contacted more than a dozen NBA staffers -- from general managers to scouts -- and the vast majority said they weren't overly bothered that Allen has seemingly unable to refrain from tripping opponents. Only one mentioned the emotional outburst on the bench after Allen's incident against Elon as bothersome."The tripping incidents don't bother me at all," one NBA general manager told ESPN. "It's the fact that he hasn't played well this year when he's been on the court."[The tripping is] irrelevant to me," added another GM. "To me, it's all about whether he is good enough to play in our league -- and I'm not so sure of that."Allen was, according to most NBA executives, a likely first-round selection if he had left Duke after last season. Most told ESPN they had him in the 20th- to 30th-pick range on their draft boards, but some said they had him slipping to the early portion of the second round. The 6-foot-5 guard averaged 21.6 points and shot 47 percent from the field and 42 percent from 3-point range, but he decided to return for his junior campaign."I have a chance to play with this great group, have a chance to be a leader, work on my leadership," Allen told ESPN before the season. "With all this talent around me, I'll be able to work on my game, expanding -- work on play making, distributing, scoring the ball in different areas -- and doing all that while getting a chance to get a Duke degree is something I couldn't pass up."
