About Trevor Crippen - RotoBaller
I live in Boston, but grew up in Washington state, where I picked up bad habits like rooting for the Mariners.

It's been a rough start to the 2017-18 NBA season. It was a bad omen in the preseason when likable players started going down with injuries to start a season where they were looking at big opportunities to break out -- including Seth Curry, Dante Exum, and Slam Dunk Contest winner Glenn Robinson III. Then... Read More
