Bird for Crabbe

In Gary Parrish's article about big shoes to fill on certain college teams, he includes a Bay Area talent:

Jabari Bird
California
Vitals: 6-6 | Fr. | G

Comment: Allen Crabbe didn't do everything for California last season -- especially considering Justin Cobbs averaged 15.1 points and 4.8 assists per game. But Crabbe did do a whole lot, and Bird, a heralded freshman wing, will likely be asked to step into the starting lineup and be an effective playmaker and scorer right from the jump.
