Jordan Crawford

Whatever hands11

Fine. Crawford could conceivably start on a winning team provided that this hypothetical team had all-star caliber players at 3 or 4 other ,positions plus one or two bench players who happened to be better than Crawford.

If that's the criteria by which you would label Crawford a starting caliber player, then you are right.

Are you happy?

I said, This (Vesely) is our franchise player. This kid will be the heart of the team by next year

Don't bother.

You really think what you did
was the same as what I did
when what I did is the same thing
you and others do here all the time ?

That is some lightening slam poetry. Powerful stuff!

Trade him now.

Trade him now.

Yup time to package him up for another asset. He doesn't play winning basketball.

“It hurt the first moment and I haven’t been 100 percent since that game,” Crawford said about the Wizards’ 89-86 loss to Boston on Nov. 3.

Crawford played the next 25 games, establishing himself as the Wizards’ leading scorer despite an ever-changing role as backup shooting guard, to starting shooting guard, to backup, to starting point guard, to backup shooting guard once again. Until rookie Bradley Beal started to hit his stride this month, Crawford was the only Wizard who was a threat to consistently score 20 points.

But the pain in his ankle never went away, until Crawford decided that it was time to take a break, leading him to sit out against Chicago. He played four more games but the problem — which was recently diagnosed as a bone bruise — eventually forced him to take an extended break.

===

He has been a warrior for this team playing through injuries because the team needed him. Beal wasn't doing what he is now and there was no Wall or even Price. And he still produced.

Now that Beal is shooting better from 3, adding Crawford back should be fun to watch and it will give the Wizards a lot more flexibility. I can even see Randy using Wall, Crawford with Beal in stretches or even putting Crawford at PG some. Price has been doing better, but he doesn't drive like Crawford does.

But even if he is just used as a back up SG, that is going to help.

Honestly we could have used Crawford on that last possession. Best ISO player on this team

[jivelikenice]

He's the best iso player, but doesn't mean he's a good iso player. I think Wall could be the best iso player if we simply had a stretch 4. If we spread the floor with Beal, Webster, and a stretch and let Wall and Nene run hgih pick & roll, He'd be able to get to the hoop or create a wide open jumper for a teammate.

Crawford's a chemistry killer. He's been better this year but he's proven that he needs heavy minutes and touches to be effective. I'm concerns about the negative impact that would have on Beal's development and Wall's aggressiveness.

Not sure where you get this.

But yeah, a stretch 4 would be nice. They should at a min bring back Cook to a 10 day contract.

Should be interesting to see how they use Crawford and if he is effective in his role. As you mentioned, he does seem to be a rhythm player that needs to have the ball is his hands and I think he plays better with more minutes where he can play PG first to a get a feel for the game before he starts looking for his shoot more down the stretch. That is why I have said for a while that he is more like a PG then a SG.

I think Wall is the better driver and passer between the two but Crawford is the better shooter. Wall is a pure passing PG. Crawford is a PG/SG. And he is currently the leader scorer on the team.

I do have concerns as to how he will fit. Not because of Wall but instead because of how Randy will use him given they have Price. We will see. Beal has been getting pretty tired playing 40 minutes. My guess is that Randy rolls that back to 32-34 minutes. That leaves Crawford 14-16 minutes. Just not sure if that is enough minutes for him. Specially if all those minutes are at SG. Now if he was getting Walls back up minutes as well he would be at 28 to 32 and he would be able to play his game of PG and SG.

Funny. The team went from not having enough player just a week or two ago to know having to figure out how to spread the minutes. I guess its a quality problem to have.

OH MY THE MAN HAS SOME


BIG BALLS

And can I just add. Very Gilbert like clutch shot.

Perfect set up and then launched from 3-4 feet behind the 3 line.

Big balls Crawford is back! Hope this boasts his confidence vs the Jazz. We need to win that game and close out the road trip 3-2
