Portland Trailblazers: Allen Crabbe

Although Allen Crabbe is playing behind one of the best back courts in the NBA, he managed to average just shy of 10 points in the Blazers playoff run last year. With the addition of swing man Evan Turner, Crabbe will have more of a defined role coming off the bench. It seems as if he will be the go to guy in the second unit and asked to produce at a higher level than last year. At only 24 years old, Crabbe could come onto the scene as a 6th man of the year candidate for the Portland Trailblazers.
