Allen, who just completed his third year in the NBA, scored a career-high 10.6 points per game for the Grizzlies this past season. He shot 39.1% from beyond the arc, a year after shooting 40.4% from deep. This will be Allen’s third team in his career after being drafted in the first round out of Duke by Utah in 2018.
Merrill was Milwaukee’s second-round pick last year. The Utah State product played in 30 games and started two. He averaged 3.0 points and 1.0 rebounds per game.
