Drafting JC was a mental jolt to Jordan, it got him going from the jump. I think Phil was behind that one too.
Reasons being ,one he has soften his stance on small guards since the West is loaded with quick points that penetrate like hell.
Two drafting a 6'5" guy like Crit was more in line with his old "I like tall guards" stance, so if Jordan fail to develop or play defensively like he wanted him to he had a fall back plan. But Jordan has fire in his belly and took it person. Crit came to camp confident he could crack some PT, but once he saw Jordan go he knew he was in for a battle.
