Javaris, IMO has a chance to have a better NBA career than Thaddeus Young. He's got great size for a PG and has awesome vision and is a great playmaker on the college level. He's a great athlete and can throw down some powerful dunks. He's got a greta attitude, and he's a hard worker. He's also an above average defender. His only knock is his inconsistency from outside. He's only a freshman, and I don't think he will come out this year, so he has a lot of time to work on it. I was just watching him for the 3rd or 4th time a few minutes ago vs. Clemson, and he's also very pesky on the boards. He can sneak under people, tip balls because of his leap, and just pull some nice ones down. I think he will be a lottery pick at some point, and eventually a very very good point guard in the NBA.
Very good and very underated. He's really got outstanding vision, and like you said he's inconsistant from the outside, but he can def. knock down those shots. Another year in college can do him wonders, he'll be a great NBA prospect, and I see no reason why he cannot be a lottery pick in the future.
He reminds me a lot of Gilbert Arenas, both are 6'4" 190+ with a quick first step, great speed...etc...He's probably a better 'point' than Arenas and plays more unselfishly but it's there.
I have seen Georgia Tech play twice this year, and both times Crittenton played very well (Young, not so much). He has good ballhandling skills and he can take it to the basket, but his defense is nothing to write home about. I have to see a little more of him, but from what I have seen, he has potential to be a pretty good player.
