He's such a big, strong athlete for a guard. I love how he gets to the rim and I think he can be a tough defender. When he was in LA I always wanted to see him get more run, I thought he had more long-term upside than Jordan Farmar. Unfortunately, he's mentally not there yet. His decision making is suspect, his shooting from the floor and the line can be very poor and he's not really a true point. Crittenton has been doing OK in Washington, certainly seeing more tick than he did in LA last season or in Memphis earlier this year. He hasn't really stood out though, as I had hoped he would with Arenas on the sidelines all year. There have been good games here and there, but no consistency yet. It's going to be another year before he's a contributor it seems, but he's still just 21. I’m a fan of Javaris as well, I think he could be a player. He’s such a big, strong athlete for a guard.
