Too small to guard the more powerful SF's.
However either two would be an upgrade on what we have.

People keep saying this, and you might be right. But the SF that can shutdown Lebron and hit 3 pointers either does not currently exist or isn't a free agent. Seriously, who are these powerful small forwards that have a high useage rate and bully people with their size?? People keep saying this, and other than Lebron I don't know who they're talking about!!!
Lebron, durant, melo, paul George and kawhi.
Dont think its about strength, more about length.
So Crabbe is 6'6 with 6'11 wingspan. I'm not sure how his defense is but according to Blazers fans they consider him good on defense, some say 2nd behind Aminu on the team.
He's also played the majority of his minutes throughout his career at SF. This previous season 66% of his minutes came at the 3. He's also been used at the 2 and even some at the 4.
I don't think we'd have to worry about defense with him.
I mean heck, the main SFs we will be going against will be Ariza, Leonard (not a bruiser PF), whoever Dallas and Memphis end up getting (no bruiser Saf option out there).
Heck in all of the West who are the truly dangerous SFs? Durant - who is impossible for anyone to cover. Hayward? Leonard? Gallinari maybe?
That's all I can think of. So unless we make it to the finals I don't think we need a Lebron stopper.
Look.
Give me any of:
Bazemore
Crabbe
Harris
Barnes
In that order and i'm happy.
Hopefully for not more than 16-18M
Bazemore held Lebron pretty well on a few of these possessions. Of course it's just highlights, I guess I just want to point out that size and strength are not synonymous.
Who is Harris ?
Only Lebron on this list is using his physicality to beast people.
Sorry meant Harkless.
Remember the old children's tune? One of these things is not like the other.
Harkless is inept on offense.
Asik gotta go

The more i watch bazemore the more i love him, i dont care how tall he is
I love him to just not at SF. He's a small ball SF and that's not what we need. 6'5 200 lbs soaking wet is simply not big enough. Jrue will have some good possessions defensively against Lebron and I even remember CP3 guarding him well at times but that does not mean it's a good idea to have him matched up all game. The good teams we would have to go through would exploit that matchup big time. Would love to have him at SG but now that isn't a big need. IMO QPon can give us everything he does while being a much better fit at SF. He's not worth that $ when Dell can find our own Bazemore. Ennis is another guy I think gives us close enough to what Baze does for a fraction of the price.
Definitely not true.
Here is a Fish article - with more professional and detailed look at every aspects and some new aspects
Enjoy.

Is he a full time starting 3 is the question. Not worried about his size or offense but his defense. Can he defend the 3? I think he can, he did it all last year and had a top 15 DRTG but that is the question that needs to be answered before committing.

That tells me he definitely can. Buddy isn't playing 48 minutes at the 2. Why not give Bazemore time at the 2 and 3?

qpon will get some backup mins at the 2 and 3.
