Allen Lester Crabbe III (born April 9, 1992) is an American professional basketball player who last played for the Westchester Knicks of the NBA G League. He played college basketball for the California Golden Bears. He earned third-team All-American honors as a junior, when he was also named the conference player of the year in the Pac-12. Crabbe was selected in the second round of the 2013 NBA draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

High school career[edit]

Crabbe attended Price High School in Los Angeles, California, a school founded by his grandfather, Frederick K. C. Price.[1] While at the small school, Crabbe was named Gatorade Player of the Year for California, Mr. Basketball for the state, and a fourth-team Parade All-American, leading the team to a Division IV state title.[2] In 2018, he made a large donation to keep the school open.[3]

College career[edit]

Crabbe committed to play college basketball for coach Mike Montgomery at Cal. In his first season, he averaged 13.4 points and 5.3 rebounds per game and was named Pac-12 Freshman of the Year.[4]

Prior to his sophomore year, Crabbe was named to the preseason watch list for the Wooden Award.[5] He averaged 15.2 points and 5.7 rebounds per game and remained one of the top shooters in the conference, shooting 39.9 percent from three-point range and 84.3 percent from the free throw line. At the close of the season, Crabbe was named to the first team All-Pac-12 Conference.[2][6]

In his junior year, was again named to All-Pac-12 first team while also being voted Pac-12 Player of the Year.[7] He also received national recognition as a third team All-American by both The Sporting News and the National Association of Basketball Coaches.[8]

Professional career[edit]

On June 27, 2013, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected Crabbe with the 31st overall pick in 2013 NBA draft. He was later traded on draft night to the Portland Trail Blazers for two future second-round picks.[9] On March 10, 2014, he was assigned to the Idaho Stampede of the NBA Development League.[10] He was recalled by the Trail Blazers on March 16,[11][12] reassigned on March 25,[13] and recalled again on March 31.
