There’s a fine line between “dirty” and “aggressive,” and it’s a line Duke star Grayson Allen seems to cross at least once a game.
After the tripping incidents a couple of years ago, Allen continues to be a magnet for plays that are ridiculous and unnecessary. And, unsurprisingly, he was involved in another such play on Friday night in the ACC Tournament against North Carolina.
As you can see in the video below, shared by ESPN, Allen appears to intentionally hip check a North Carolina player as the player makes his way up the court:

These are the sorts of plays Allen has become notorious for over the years, so he should know by now that he’s never going to get the benefit of the doubt in these situations.
As he prepares to enter his final NCAA Tournament before heading to the NBA, it’s safe to say NBA teams are going to have a lot of questions about his dirty playing style before they take a chance on drafting him.
