    I want to see him handle the ball more first. He does everything else well. (Shooting, D, rebounding, passing...)

    Yeah he should be fine because he doesn't play outta control. He knows his role and plays within the system. I think that part of his game will develop as long as he's getting minutes to improve on it.

    I've been thinking Crabbe is the exact type of player who would play a ton and kill us in Pop's system... I hope we keep him and develop him like Pop would!

    Huge fail by Olshey drafting him. He obviously didn't do a bone density test on CJ.

    CJ has the snap and crackle parts down with his different bone breaks. I'm sure the pop will come next.

    Not really a huge CJ fan. But he has been hitting shots when the team needs him to knock them down. More PT for blake/crabbe. Barton is in the dog house after last night. at least he would be if I were the coach.

    I'm pretty sure he's in the dog house. What an awful shift he had.

    well that sucks. He hasn't been some world beater, but he has made some good shots for us and plays decent defense. Luckily he should still be able to get his minutes back when he returns.

    Last night CJ had 18 minutes, Blake had 29, Crabbe had 21.

    Blake is about tapped out at that 29. With Batum back (getting 34) I can see Crabbe with 14 at SF and 7 at SG.
    Since Wes will get his 35 minutes at SG, Dame playing with Blake will cover those extra 6 minutes or so very easily.

    Damn, this blows. He's been one of our best 3-point shooters this season so far. Hope he heals fast and can come back stronger.

    I think it happened when he was distracted by one of the replays.

    Time for CJ to work on that left hand. He's young, he'll heal. In the meantime, I think Crabbe will get more valuable experience playing with the second unit, which will be where he's playing anyway as Nico returns. Didn't Nico fracture a finger last season or was is the season before?

    We're not really lacking 3pt shooters. I don't see that as such an issue.

    I'll give CJ a lot of credit though. Just read the website article and didn't realize he made 2 freethrows, grabbed 1 rebound and played 4 minutes with a fractured index finger! That's some grit right there!
