Throughout my junior basketball career I’d worked continuously with Lucas Allen. When I first started to take basketball seriously, making the decision that I wanted to make a career out of the game, Lucas was a great resource I had access to in helping me improve all facets of my game. Specifically, I recall him always putting together fun, position specific, and challenging workouts that helped me take great strides in my skill development.
He is a person that I have maintained a great relationship with since we first met, catching up every time we cross paths, reflecting how much I respect and appreciate everything he has done for me in my basketball career. He’s been such a positive influence on me, and I’ve always known that he’s had my best interests at heart when constructing sessions that were both highly enjoyable and productive. Having the privilege to work with Lucas is something that I definitely don’t take for granted, and his experience further from the time we’ve worked together closely would have only enhanced the already high expertise he possesses.
– Jack White (Melbourne United and former Duke University Men’s Basketball Captain)
Personally for me, i wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for Lucas Allen. You know learning the game of basketball from him was an honour for me. He’s a very knowledgeable and smart guy, and he knows the game of basketball very well. I think the most important thing is he’s a great guy. He wants to coach you, he wants you to get better and that’s what you want from a coach.
Personally for me, he’s one that kick started my career. It was a great opportunity to be able to train with Lucas.
– Dyson Daniels (G League Ignite & potential 2022 NBA lottery pick)
I’ve been working with Lucas for the past 2 seasons for the Phoenix. Lucas has an exceptional level of knowledge for the game and has had a lot of impact on the player I am today. I highly recommend Lucas to any basketball player trying to take their game to the next level.
