WILL ALLEN DO IT ALL FOR B-MEG DERBY ACE LLAMADOS?

After four games, Darnell Hinson replaced original pick Stefhon Hannah and again after only four outings, Hinson will be replaced by Myron Allen as import reinforcement of the B-MEG Derby Ace Llamados in the ongoing PBA Governor’s Cup. Hinson, who posted norms of 20.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in his four appearances with the Llamados, had to leave the country immediately for emergency reasons but not after helping secure a playoff spot for B-MEG. Allen, 32, is a player rich in international hoops experience. The 5-11 former Charles H. Milby HS star played only eight games for the University of North Dakota before being suspended by school authorities due to eligibility problems. It was not mentioned what triggered the eligibility issue on Allen but it could be his 10-day stint at the training camp of IBA semi-pro team Fargo-Moorhead Beez in which he played a single exhibition game in 1999. Allen has brought his acts to other semi-pro leagues like the USBL, WBA, ABA and the NBA D-League. He also had seen action in Bosnia, Mexico, Israel and China as an import. This past season, Allen suited up for Lobos Grises de la UAD Durango in the Mexican league. He averaged 9.0 ppg, 3.5 rpg and 3.5 apg in two games. He later had a stint with Shandong in the Chinese league, seeing action for 32 games with norms of 15.3 ppg, 6.4 rpg and 4.9 apg. Despite his short ceiling, Allen is described as a high-leaping athletic guard who can fly and slammed it in, according to 610 Sports Management.

“The kind of crowd-pleasing, athletic point guard, who passes well, runs the court and dunks in traffic.”
