Four-star junior Latrell Allmond was outstanding at the John Wall Holiday, as he ended up winning the MVP award in the tournament's Coby White Bracket. On Tuesday, in an Instagram post, fans got to see a glimpse of the player's performance in the tournament and took to the comments section to express their thoughts on the four-star prospect.
