ANALYSIS: There's a reason Allen Crabbe is a guy who spazzes between starting rosters and the waiver wire in fantasy leagues as quickly and erratically as one of Draymond Green's legs. This is a guy who provides you little to nothing in most of the non-shooting categories — assists, rebounds, steals and blocks — so his production relies 100% on whether his shot is falling. If it is, he's racking up points and treys with good percentages. If it’s not, he's providing no counting stats while he destroys your percentages.

Right now his shot is falling and he's been getting minutes, since his ability to play off-ball makes him a much better fit alongside Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum than Evan Turner. It could stop falling at any moment, but the situation for him right now is excellent. Playing time and open shots are all you can ask for when it comes to Crabbe, and right now that's what he's getting. If the poorly-fitting Turner ends up getting traded (especially if it's for a pick or a big man), that'll lock in his situation even tighter. Crabbe's too one-dimensional to want to drop a real player for, but he makes a solid plug-in for anyone down a point guard in competitive leagues.
