Age: 29, born July 20, 1975, in Merced, Calif.

College: Connecticut.

Acquired: Traded by Milwaukee, with Kevin Ollie and Ronald Murray, for Gary Payton and Desmond Mason, Feb. 20, 2003.

Game time: One of the best three-point shooters in NBA history. Allen has averaged at least 21.8 points each of his past five seasons. Can get his jump shot off quickly, even against tight pressure from defenders. Allen is in the last year of his contract, and if the Sonics start slowly, you can bet they'll listen to midseason trade offers.

Thumbs up, thumbs down: Starred with Denzel Washington in the 1998 Spike Lee film "He Got Game" (good) and also appeared in the 2001 movie, "Harvard Man" (not so good).
