Javaris Crittenton is an athletic play making guard, who is 6’5, 195 pounds and shows a lot of passion. He is a good scorer, has a nice shooting touch, and is a good slasher. He has a quick first step, and is very quick in general.
He likes to dunk, has good body strength, and has big hands. He has good court vision, good passing skills and handles the ball real well. He is known as a hard worker who is coachable and he likes to be challenged. He is a solid defensive player and a good team player.
Javaris needs to work on somethings like being more of a take charge player, he is capable of being the number one offensive option, but defers to his teammates a little too much. He could still work on his decision making skills, and needs to work on his three point shooting. He is known as an aggressive defender and he tends to pick up too many silly fouls because he likes to reach in.
He is still very young and still learning how to run a team from the point guard position. Overall he does have talent, but is still developing at the college level, therefore I feel it would be best for him to come back and continue to improve, instead of jumping to the pros and hinder his progress.
Once he’s more ready maybe in a year or two he’d be a top 10 selection, but even if he decides to stay in this years draft he’ll still be a first round pick, but just under developed. He sort of reminds me of Shaun Livingston in his style of play.
