Defensive-minded guard with legit two-way value
Dakarai Allen stood out at San Diego State as a tough, versatile guard whose calling card was defense, energy, and winning plays—he led the Aztecs in defensive rebounds and ranked among their top players in blocks and steals during his 2016-17 stretch, while also averaging 6.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 22.1 minutes[3][5]. He profiles as a good fit for teams that value intensity, perimeter length, and low-ego role acceptance more than pure shot creation; the main question is offensive ceiling, but his motor and disruptive presence give him real roster utility[3][5][6].
