The Cleveland Cavaliers have two high-end scorers in Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell.
Evan Mobley has also taken a big leap as a scorer.
He expanded his range and has been more aggressive.
However, even though he’s not necessarily known for his offensive prowess, Jarrett Allen can also be a factor on that end of the floor.
That’s why, following his big performance vs. the New York Knicks, analyst Gabriella Kreuz tipped his hat to him.
Talking on “The Hanford Dixon Show,” Kreuz called Allen an ‘automatic bucket’ and praised him for his underrated and often overlooked impact.
The importance of Jarrett Allen to the Cavs cannot be overstated! #LetEmKnow
"People know how to get him the ball, and it's like an automatic bucket."

Allen had little to no trouble dominating Karl-Anthony Towns on Wednesday night.
He put up 21 points on 10-of-11 from the floor, adding eight rebounds, one steal, and one block.
While everybody talks about the Big 3, the Cavs actually have a Fantastic Four.
He was a borderline All-Star this season, and this season wouldn’t have been possible without him anchoring the paint and being a big presence above the rim.
His chemistry with Mobley on both ends of the floor is superb, and the Cavs have excelled with their big-to-big game all season long, with Mobley throwing him lobs and vice versa.
Also, Allen has been a good sport about not necessarily being a part of the closing lineup anymore, as Kenny Atkinson has turned to De’Andre Hunter at the four to play some small-ball down the stretch.
He’s a good teammate, a good player, and one of the most hard-working guys in the league.
