I think Crabbe is similar to a Phoenix Suns era Grant Hill..smart, unselfish team player..can score but doesn't look to score often
Mentioned on our podcast that AC is similar to Kyle Korver in the sense that he's only there to shoot the basketball. He won't fill up a stat sheet or be used as a facilitator or defensive stopper. His one job out on the court is to get open and knock down shots.
Really? I think the reason CJ is cemented as a starter is so other teams see him as a viable starting PG. I really think we're showcasing him this year to try to get the best value we can in a trade for an upper echelon SF or PF. Crabbe is a better more natural fit next to Damian. He's a poor man's Klay to run beside our poor man's Curry. CJ is essentially Golden State's Monte Ellis without the seniority. Hopefully we can get at least as much as Golden State got (Andrew Bogut & Stephen Jackson).
Have a feeling this will happen. They just don't match our other players and direction we are headed.
Like what? He might be able to become a defensive stopper because of his good size but he's not a good ball handler or playmaker.
I think he has all the tools to be a great defender. Dude is incredibly smart. Always knows where to be on the court. I also think as he gets more confident, you'll see him able to create his own shot more than we have seen.
Really? He can't dribble. He can't get his own shot. You can't give it to him and expect him to drive past his defender and score. The only thing he has his size. That's what makes him the better defender because, let's be honest, he's just only okay at defense. It's true his percentages are better than CJ's. But he's getting those shots in the system. He's not creating anything for himself.
ALLAN CRABBE IS A COMBINATION OF CHRIS PAUL'S MIND, LE BRON JAMES STRENGTH, BRUCE BOWENS DEFENSE, STEPH CURRYS SHOOTING AND GREG ODENS PENIS.
He was able to create for himself some in college. I think the talent is there to do so. Crabbe comes off to me as a guy that wants to do everything right and whatever he is asked to do out there. As he stops overthinking things and continues to gain confidence, I think he has the potential to make that next leap to his game in the nba by creating his own shot. I guess time will tell
I've seen him lose track of his defender a bunch and he commits some stupid fouls but I don't really disagree with you on the defender part. He does play some great on ball defense pretty often. I don't know if I think he'll ever be great at creating his own shot (specifically at the hoop) because he's not super athletic and doesn't have great ball skills but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
He'll be a great backup for Ben Simmons* *of course if the team passes on Ben Simmons, then insert whoever they pick because obviously he's untouchable and drinks like a fish. Wait, I think I did that wrong.
Crabbe is def a long term piece that dude is going to be a VERY solid rotation player for at least the next half decade. NO gotta lock him down
Yes, whether we keep them or not CJ and Crabbe have both really upped their trade value this year if Neil has an opportunity to make a move. Not that I want to move him but Ed Davis is proving to be a huge steal at 7.5 mil per and Plumlee has played well and is on a cheap contract, more potential pieces. As far as Meyers goes I have no "objective" view on what he might be worth in a trade - he just frustrates me too much to be unemotional. And Henderson and Kaman are always available.
Wes couldn't create his own shot neither and scoring in system is not bad I actually prefer that with a player.
He's a long-term piece only in relation to how much trading a player like him could get us in a trade. He's a good player to have and playing himself into a pretty good position, but he might also be the guy you can put into a deal to bring back a player that fills a need and puts you over the top. Very pleased with his progress. He's now hitting difficult shots off the dribble. I never figured him for that.
