The problem is that, especially in the case of Speusippus, we cannot expect overt commentary on the dialogue.
However, we know that Speusippus and Xenocrates (and presumably their colleagues) maintained that the creation myth of the Timaeus was not to be taken literally, and certain interesting consequences follow from that.
Crantor's emphasis is different, but not contradictory of this position.

For that reason, Pholus, Crantor, Chiron & Nessus remind you that willfully corrupt lawyers, judges & politicians must cloak injustices perpetrated against their personal & political enemies in the disguise of principles — in many cases, principles that are unique to a specific jurisdiction for very specific, albeit oftentimes convoluted, reasons.

Pholus, Crantor, Chiron & Nessus point to these negative role models in the sports world to teach all Goats what happens to those who try to hide the fact that they are transgressing moral & ethical boundaries.

The Heirs of Plato - A Study of the Old Academy (347-274 BC)
In this chapter, Dillon considers four minor figures of the Academy: Philippus of Opus, Hermodorus of Syracuse, Heraclides of Pontus, who were all students of Plato; and Crantor of Soli, a contemporary of Polemo.
Philippus is best known for editing Plato's Laws for publication, and he was the real author of the Epinomis: as a philosopher, he is distinguished for elevating the rational World-Soul to the status of the supreme principle, and for identifying astronomy as the true path to the knowledge of God.
