I agree wholeheartedly.
People don’t want to believe it, but he was a significantly better player for us than Maddox was this year, on both ends of the court, for consistency, and for availability. Nobody can deny that Maddox not only regressed, he became a net negative, and then of course hasn’t played in a month. I doubt we see him again. Alleyne would’ve been a body, and those we need. He won us quite a few games, as much as people fixate on his shooting struggles here and there. We ran off Alleyne for a guy who didn’t work on his game and eventually went MIA. Hindsight is always 20/20 but we lost out big time.

Now that the season is over, can we agree Alleyne was a massive loss?

Yes, with Maddox falling off the map he was a big loss.
