given the structure of the team, who else should be

I like his swagger. His very good preseason game against
us looks less like it was a complete fluke after getting
52 in the last 2 games.
RIght now the league is adjusting to him more than him
to the league which is good for a youngster. The real
issue is what will happened halfway through next year
when the first book on him has been written. How is
he going to adjust to the league when that becomes
necessary. The kid has some game.

And you determined this after how many games exactly ?
just my opinion mate. i remember a lot of us writing nick young off due to his poor shot selection and inability to drive to the hoop, and look how hes improved. my only point was that imo, i think crawford has more potential then rookie nick young and can be a great complement to wall, given time.

No, I don't disagree. Nick is definitely a better shooter, but I think Crawford can shoot at a good clip from the outside, and has shown waaay more in terms of a balanced floor game than Nick ever has. I love how Nick has developed into a more consistent player, but I think he'll be paid way more than he's worth in the open market. Crawford has shown enough for me to at least think that his upside is a fringe starter/6th man, which I think is the best role for Nick as well.

That's why you have free agency and the draft. Just because Young is having a solid year doesn't mean we need to bend over and pay him an absurd amount of money. If Crawford can fill that role for $4 million less, you do it.
