Of course Scott’s right. Suh is truly exceptional. In large part he made
it possible for Crick to have such an outstanding sophomore year by
drawing most of the attention and double-teams. Also, by example he surely
must have had a pronounced effect on Crick’s development and attitude.
Even so, Crick is something of a phenomenon in his own right. He and
Steinkuhler (plus Moore) ought to make us proud next season.
