INDIANAPOLIS – The Timberwolves player who knows Allen Crabbe the best is Shabazz Napier.
Napier was with Crabbe, who the Wolves acquired Thursday in a trade with Atlanta, both in Portland and Brooklyn for a combined two seasons. Napier said he can see a match between the Wolves’ three-point heavy style of play and Crabbe’s shooting acumen.
“He’s a great teammate. Very solid, does everything you ask,” Napier said. “He can [really] shoot … Great defender. Has everything this team needs.”
The Wolves traded Jeff Teague and Treveon Graham to get Crabbe, who wasn’t with the team for Friday’s 116-114 defeat at Indiana but could make his debut Saturday at home against Toronto.
