Ben Allen brings stretch-5 upside and a big-game pedigree to Saint Mary’s
In the 2009-10 season, Ben Allen was a 6-foot-11 Saint Mary’s center who quietly gave the Gaels a skilled frontcourt option, averaging 2.2 points and 1.8 rebounds in 9.1 minutes per game while shooting 33.3% from three for a team that reached the NCAA Sweet 16. He stood out less for volume and more for fit: a floor-spacing big with international experience, toughness, and a proven knack for rising in pressure moments — including a 20-point, four-3-pointer performance in the WCC title game. If your team needs size with touch, he’s a useful chess piece.
