Dakarai Allen is one of the best small forwards in the nation. Dakarai Allen is from Sheldon High School and AAU: Play Hard Play Smart from Sacramento, California. Allen is 6’5 and weights 172 lbs.

Dakarai Allen is a long wing with significant upside. He’s a terrific defender who is at his best in the open court, where he makes the right pass or slashes to the basket. While he can knock down the open three, his shot is still inconsistent and it’s a definite area of improvement moving forward. Allen’s offense needs to improve but his length and athleticism give him very good building blocks to improve on and his ceiling is quite high. Scout.com
