    Well, we know more than that about him. He can shoot.

    He is the best player available after about the first 25 players drafted or so. I think we got a steal but not sure we need anymore guards. He is a scorer/shooter and can create his own shot.

    Birthdate: April 4, 1992 (Los Angeles)
    High School: Price HS (Los Angeles)
    College: California
    Follow on Twitter: @AllenCrabbe

    Background: Named Pac-12 Player of the Year by coaches in 2013 and Freshman of the Year in 2011. Also, a three-time All-Pac-12 selection and a First-Team All-League pick each of his last two seasons. In his junior campaign, averaged 18.4 points (3rd in Pac-12), 6 rebounds per game while shooting 46% from the field.

    Weaknesses: Lacks ball handling skills and NBA level passing ability.
    Talk About Allen: “With solid length, strength, and defense, he's somebody to potentially target early in the second round.”- Liberty Ballers
    “He’s a super athletic wing with NBA length and defensive abilities. He was very inconsistent at New Mexico, but I’m told numerous NBA teams love the talent. .”- Chad Ford

    Most likely involving Wes for a veteran front-court player.

    If we toss out a small lineup of

    Damian
    McCollum
    Crabbe

    Could shoot the lights out

    I like Crabbe a lot. Sharpshooting guard.

    This gluttony of 2 guards doesn't make sense to me though.
