Grayson Allen wins the Thunder Dan Majerle Hustle Award

Image Photo by Kate Frese/NBAE via Getty Images In his first year with the Suns, it’s GA who gets the award. There isn’t much negative you can say about the efforts of Grayson Allen since he joined the Phoenix Suns this past offseason. He brought with him a reputation for being cocky and dangerous, snotty and dirty. The former Duke Blue Devil has been anything but in his first season in the Valley of the Sun. He has been consistent and steady, quiet and deadly. And he’s hustled his ass off. Grayson Allen has played and started in 72 games for the Suns this season, averaging 13.5 points and shooting 45.7% from beyond the arc. The effort he puts in on both ends of the floor has been commendable, especially considering he is tasked nightly with guarding the opposing team's point-of-attack facilitator. For his efforts this season, Allen was honored before the Suns' final home game of the season with the Thunder Dan Majerle Hustle Award.

Allen has certainly earned the award with how he approaches the game every night. Previous winners include:
  • 2003: Bo Outlaw
  • 2004: Casey Jacobsen
  • 2005: Shawn Marion
  • 2006: Raja Bell
  • 2007: Leandro Barbosa
  • 2008: Grant Hill
  • 2009: Louis Amundson
  • 2010: Jared Dudley
  • 2011: Grant Hill
  • 2012: Sebastian Telfair
  • 2013: P.J. Tucker
  • 2014: P.J. Tucker
  • 2015: P.J. Tucker
  • 2016: P.J. Tucker
  • 2017: Alan Williams
  • 2018: Josh Jackson
  • 2019: Mikal Bridges
  • 2020: Jevon Carter
  • 2021: Mikal Bridges
  • 2022: Mikal Bridges
  • 2023: Josh Okogie
Grant Hill, P.J. Tucker, and Mikal Bridges are the only multi-time winners of the award. Tucker was in attendance for the ceremony, although he was wearing the blue and red across his chest as he is currently a member of the Los Angeles Clippers. Grayson Allen, who is amidst a cold shooting streak, will look to continue his hustle as the Suns look to make an impact in the postseason. Will they have to go through the Play-In Game first? Most likely.
