Grayson Allen reveals what he has been working on this summer: "Speed, Power, and Explosion"

The shooting guard for the Phoenix Suns, Grayson Allen, spoke in episode 1 of the 2024-25 season of Duke Blue Planet about how his summer has been, what he has been working on, and what his expectations are for the upcoming season. The video was posted on YouTube this week and is already available to watch in full.

"I practiced with Coach Scheyer like in the old times," Allen commented. "Head coach returned to lead some individual workouts. So, it was great to see. Coach Scheyer and I keep in touch and talk quite frequently. It was great to be back, to be able to take a day while I'm in town and do another workout with him."

"I'm working on some explosive aspects to be ready and give it my all on the court for the training camp and preseason, and make all the shots that I think I'll have during the season," explained Allen. "Shots that I got last season playing with these guys."

"I have a strong base," Allen mentioned. "Now I'm focusing on more speed and explosiveness, some plyometric work. Moving the weight faster if it's loaded. Lots of weightless stuff. Working on speed, power, and explosion. Trying to get back in shape to play, be ready, and in better shape. A little faster, a little stronger, and be ready for October."

"Just shooting with Tyrese and trying to give him some of the things I think about and the mentality of playing off-ball, when my defender is helping," Allen added. "Reading how far he is from me on the catch. It's just the mindset of knowing, before the ball arrives, if you're going to be able to make that shot. Maybe stepping back a few steps off the line to give yourself a bit more space and time."

"Sometimes, giving yourself that extra space is better for taking a shot in position than a rushed one with a defender a bit closer to you," detailed Allen.

"Some aspects about the shooting mentality, reading, receiving the ball higher, keeping it up, and letting it fly. Many different things I've been working on this summer and several shots I've made in recent years playing with great teammates and off-ball. Just trying to show him what I see and think. Some of the techniques to get a shot off."
