Stuckey v Crittenton
I haven't seen either of them play, but would you really take Crittenton over Stuckey? Here are some of my thoughts, based on only what I've read.
1) Crittenton is not as tall as advertised. He's 6'3-1/2" per combine measurements. Stuckey is 6'3-3/4" with greater wingspan.
2) Crittenton has only played one year of college ball, and was not consistent in his performance. He may be a couple year project before he's ready to play regular minutes in the NBA.
3) Joe wants someone who is ready to play now.
4) Stuckey's played two years and has been consistent in what he does best - score. And he's dished out 5 assists per game.
5) Crittenton has presumably played against better competition in his one year, than Stuckey has in his two.
6) Stuckey could barely keep his team's record over 0.500.
Given the evidence, I still think Joe would take a pass on Crittenton at 15 in favor of someone that is more ready to contribute next year. Maybe that player is Stuckey. Hopefully, it's someone even better.
