Like many in the month of December, hoops writer Zach Lowe has taken notice of Trail Blazers guard-forward Allen Crabbe. In his latest column for ESPN.com, Lowe named Crabbe's emergence as one of his "10 Things I Like and Don't Like." Fortunately for Crabbe, the Cal-Berkeley product finds himself on the positive end of the spectrum:
"Over the past month, Crabbe has shot 54 percent overall, including 49 percent from deep, and has emerged as an all-around crunch-time weapon for the Trail Blazers. He is more comfortable attacking off the bounce once Damian Lillard or CJ McCollum kicks to him, and his footwork on defense has improved massively since the first few weeks of the season.
