So how is he looking so far this year. He basic stats are looking better.
His 3 ball % is up and that is helping to pull up his FG%
He efficiency should look even better when he brings his FT% up to something more normal. He is at .600 when he is a career .808 so I expect he will return to something higher then where he is.

Most of us expected he would get more efficient but we debated over how much and where that would rank him. So how is he looking so far in a limited sample size ? From the numbers, he looks more efficient.

Year over year numbers after 7 games ( small sample size )

I believe my projection for him was that he would mature with his shot selection and improve his 3 pt % which would increase his efficiency. I believed he was a player the team needed to keep for now to see how he progressed. Specially since he has a fearless approach to the game and this team really needs players like that. Craw is a baller. He is the least of their problems right now. Actually, he is one of the few bright spots and is developing nicely.
