Temple University earned a #7 seed in the 2011 NCAA Tournament and knocked off a weak #10 Penn State basketball team in the round of 64 of the Tourny. Unfortunately for the Temple Owls, they had to match-up against #2 San Diego State University in the next round and lost 71-64. One of Temple’s stars this past season was Lavoy Allen, who averaged 11.6 points per game. A year prior, he averaged 11.5 points per game in similar minutes played.
What I like most about Lavoy Allen is his size. At 6’9, he can rebound well, block shots, and as already discussed, he can shoot the ball. Even if he does not make it in the United States, this is a guy who should be able to command nice paychecks overseas. It should not be surprising that many agents are interested in making Lavoy Allen a client. In fact, just yesterday, I heard from an inside source that Allen recently was still interviewing about ten different agents.
At least one basketball player wants Lavoy Allen’s agent search to stop now. His name is Dionte Christmas and he is also a former Temple Owl. Yesterday, he Tweeted to Lavoy Allen (@BroadStBully24) that he should come to #TEAMBUCK. Without a doubt, Christmas was referring to his agent, Andre Buck.

Andre Buck has Philadelphia roots and has represented a Temple basketball player in the past. Do not be surprised if Lavoy Allen ends up selecting Mr. Buck as his agent.
