Jae Crowder

[mattg]

He's a junior SF/PF for Marquette. He's listed at 6'6'' 225 but he looks and plays much bigger than that. He was the JUCO player of the year last year and lead his team to the national title before transferring to Marquette. I've been real impressed with him and think he could be a decent prospect down the road. He really gets after it on defense and has a really smooth jumper on offense. He also looks to be a pretty heady player overall.

He's averaging 13 points, 6.6 boards, 1.5 steals, .7 blocks, 1.3 assists, and .8 turnovers per game in 26 minutes of action while shooting 54.1 fg%, 45.3 3pt%, and 58.7 ft%

Anyone else like this guy's potential down the road?

I do not like his potential as an NBA player. He definitely has some skill, but he is going to have to mold his game into that of a wing in one season. Sure, Lazar Hayward was able to do it, but I'm not sure he is even as tall as Hayward. He's a decent defender, but struggles against players bigger than him.

He has the best first name in the history of basketball/life. I don't know anything else about him though.
