His biggest miss was taking Aminu over George. Especially since George was from the area and played both HS/NCAA ball right there giving Neil ample opportunity to scout him. George also said he really wanted to play there. Can you imagine? Bled/George/Griffin/Deandre on the same team? Championships for like the next decade.
I was actually pleasantly surprised with Crabbe early in the pres-season when he got playing time, especially against Phoenix when he went 6-11. What struck me was that although he did look uncomfortable (understandable for a rookie in preseason) he seems like he could be a glue-type guy who just knows how to play the game. I had heard he could shoot from outside but he also had a few nice drives, rebounded at times and played some defense. Then he got sidelined with gastroenteritis and that was about the last we've seen of him. But I have higher hopes for him than I do for Barton, for example.
I might be off base, but I see Crabbe as a guy who you run off screens. He could be a poor man's Rip Hamilton. Barton on the other hand reminds me of a Corey Brewer. They both have their place, and can both be useful if they continue to develop.
