I agree. He needs to be more then just a jump shooter. especially a jump shooter who only takes whats there and doesnt work to create his own shot more.

He needs to try to get to the rim as often as possible, even if its ugly and not working. he wont improve at it unless he gets reps doing it in games... similar to RHJ last year

Blazer fan here. While I don't know if crabbe will start driving to the rim as others have pointed out 3 pointers drive up true shooting so in some respects it wouldn't be awful if he did stick to shooting though obviously it's preferable if he can develop some versatility.

All that said I have no doubts regardless of what crabbe does he will improve his efficiency. He's not shooting the rock super efficiently right now but he's always tended to play better later in the season once he gets in a rhythm. Crabbe tends to be streaky so there might be games where he scores 30 and then he will go on to score 3 or 5 the next night but overall I think he'll look quite a bit better than what his stats would indicate so far

Last night was his best game off the dribble. If he can continue incorporating that aspect of his game while maintaining his defense that will be big. He's still not shooting it great but he's definitely starting to find his place as he's gotten more minutes (over 30 minutes last 4 games) and showing that he can score even when his 3 is a little off.

Last night vs. UTAH - 30 min, 18 pts (7-14)
11/14 vs. BOS - 33 min, 15 pts (5-10)
11/11 @ UTAH - 31 min, 4 pts (2-7)
11/10 @ POR - 30 min, 12 pts (5-11)

Only 10/26 from 3 over those 4 games, but still shooting about 50% overall. Good to see him get 10+ shots up in 3/4 games. Hopefully the positive signs continue and success continues as he plays more minutes.

I am really enjoying watching Crabbe's semi-ugly drives to basket. His height/reach advantage is for real amd you can see him start to understand that. He's going to get better amd better at this.

One of great things about last game was.Crabbea dives to basket,and CLVs shots from perimeter

38% from 3 on 6 attempts a game is not bad at all. Blazer fans have said he usually gets going mid season. Hopefully he picks it up as the year goes on. 40+ percent on high volume would be awesome.

Crabbe needs to keep putting the ball on the floor. I don't care how deranged he looks when he does it, he needs to get to the rack and keep the defenses honest.

kamaze · Post #287 » by **kamaze** » Sun Nov 19, 2017 2:30 am

AC is driving to the basket and playing good defense. That's 2 things he's improved on the last was him shooting more and he's been doing that with good results lately.

The announcers were saying the coach yanked him when he was too passive a few games ago and he's responded well.

Him with Joe Harris off the bench makes this a deadly 3 point shooting team.

MrDollarBills · Post #288 » by **MrDollarBills** » Sun Nov 19, 2017 2:46 am

if by season's end Allen Crabbe is a reliable 3 + D player that can either hit threes at a high clip or drive the lane for scores this will be a huge step forward for this team.

Aussienet3 · Post #289 » by **Aussienet3** » Sun Nov 19, 2017 5:32 am

Crabbe has a player option in the last year of his deal. Reckon he might opt out if the nets garuantee him $60 mill over 4 years? Or do you guy's think he will want the same money as his current contract if not more? Even though his current contract is a big over pay due to the salary cap rise and he got lucky.

Might be possible if he keeps playing the way he has these last 5 games now. Just needs to stay consistent.

I think in a way with Russell going down, this is a time where the Nets can benefit from having to rely on Crabbe and it could really be a game changer in evolving Crabbe from a jump shooter into an actual scorer/defender. This is the time for him to be getting tons of FGAs on threes and working on putting the ball on the floor. i don't care if he commits turnovers doing it, he needs to be multidimensional and he has the length and soft touch to do it.

25 Pts, 7 Rebs, 2 Asts, 6/11 3PT in 34 minutes. He’s going to eat once he gets accustomed to the system.

the 25 points and 6 threes are irrelevant. we know he will have some big three point games when he is hot.

what is important is he got to the rim 3 or 4 times. if he is going to be a consistent 15+ ppg guy we need more of that... great sign

and he is committed defensively.

Joel Embust · Post #296 » by **Joel Embust** » Mon Nov 20, 2017 10:41 pm

Definitely doing a bit of everything. He's more committed defensively, cleans the glass and he's looking to attack the basket.

Still, the way he was curling around screens and hitting contested threes was pretty impressive and he deserves credit for it.

Prok are you finally softening up to Crabbe?

i never had an issue with crabbe, my issue was with marks who i still have an issue with him paying crabbe and insane contract. i stand by you dont give 2nd round pick role players coming off joe harirs numbers an enormous contract.

im encouraged to see him doing more off the dribble. i like crabbe, he fits and works hard. but id still wouldnt do that trade 100 times out of 100

Glad to hear Crabbe is trying to create more off the dribble. I haven't been able to catch many NBA games in the last couple weeks, nice to hear that it sounds like he's expanding his game a bit. Hope he keeps that up. Like Proky said, those big point games he puts up are a bit of fools gold if he jacked up 10 3 pointers and made 7. He has those kinds of nights, but then if the shot is off, he'll have 1-8 nights too which is why he's been so maddingly inconsistent since becoming a solid rotation player. As great of a 3pt shooter as he is, it's become a bit of a crutch for his game wherein he relies so heavily on that that he never spent much time on improving anything else. I was hoping the Nets giving him a starting job (or at least bigger role) would allow him to grow his game, sounds like that may finally be taking shape.
