    While I hear you, ultimate green light in the first unit is a big difference from a green light in the second. BKN giving him the keys.

    We will see how Crabbe does when teams are zeroing in on him specifically.

    ...as much as he can have "the keys" playing with DeAngelo Russell and Jeremy Lin...

    Still, I am interested to see how he performs in a more featured role. I can't imagine he's going to get as consistently clean of looks in Brooklyn as what he got playing with Dame/CJ.

    Yeah but he has no pressure in Brooklyn. If he misses it's not like anyone else could have done better as opposed to playing with Dame and CJ where he might think about passing up a decent shot. When he played without them with our bench, he shot more. But it's not like he shot a low percentage in Portland.

    WTF ever Crabbe... :dry:

    I don't buy for one damn second that Terry "3 point" Stotts restricted you in ANY WAY from shooting when your hoisting them up at a 44% clip!! GTFO.

    You're soft, a defensive liability, and was reluctant to shoot. Your 1.7 3s per will be easily replaced.

    It's not like he's the best player on the team. The Nets aren't completely bereft of talent. They have Russell, who is their best player. They have Jeremy Lin as well. I don't think Crabbe is going to be the main focus of the defense.

    I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, given his Cal education, but I always got the impression his airy demeanor is a cover for not being all that bright. I'm not surprised Stott's motion offense overwhelmed him in the thinking department.

    But he will be a focus and team will scout him. No one said he would be a main focus but teams will still gameplan against him.

    Wow, a lot of sour grapes about Crabbe here! Let the guy find success, why dontch'alls. It's not like he went to the Warriors or something.

    We wasted lots of money on his "potential".

    Haters right?! All this guy do was be the 3rd best 3point shooter in the league. AND he was a 2nd rounder

    We’ll be complaining all year too, watch, when we can’t find a consistent 3 point shooter outside of Dame and Cj

    Other players in Crabbe's league as a shooter and all around contributor. None are compensated comparably to him.
