A forward should get rebounds. A 6-7 guard should get rebounds. Crabbe is 11th on the team in rebounds per game.
If crabbe keeps playing this way, I think it's safe to say teams will offer him a deal next year starting around 7 million per year. And I actually think I'd match. I can see him progressing well and I love what he is becoming.
Two months ago I would have laughed my ass off at this notion. I said on record I wasn't impressed with him....but would admit it if I was wrong. Crabbe almost has me there. I just won't trust it until I see it over a full season. But if he continues to play like he has been, 7 mil might be the low end....and yeah, I'd match too....
The record is now 9. Previous record was 8, held by Wesley Matthews (March 5-19, 2011) and Ime Udoka (March 1-17, 2007).
Realistically, Crabbe is probably our 4th or 5th best player, but Tunchi and I (I think) disagree about where to play Dame and CJ.
You don't realize how great Crabbe is. He is Reggie Miller/Rip Hamilton/Ray Allen good. This is not an ouch. This is a good thing.
Crabbe is a very very nice player whose def a keeper the Blazers should hold on to. He's even better than Wes Matthews this year and he got paid 70M this year. We're one legit border line all star away from being better than any of the Blazers team from the last two years easily
Crabbe has just came in his own. The good thing he can get better and that what like. I like him out of college will he ever be starter who know but very good for us off the bench right now.
