Tony Allen imo does not really have great basketball skills. By this I mean he is not a great shooter or dribbler or passer.

But he had (pre injury) great athletic skills, great speed and quickness and jumping ability which as we saw right before he got hurt, allowed him to contribute significantly in that he could defend like hell, drive the basket and rebound well for his position. He was kind of like the anti Bird where Bird had all these wonderful basketball skills but wasn't really athletic.

So unless that knee comes back to near 100% I don't see him making much of a contribution.

Cliff notes: I agree with you.
