A terrific reserve on a good team or a selfish gunner on a bad team that is bad because it is full of guys who think me first. . . . mmmm . . . . not a tough choice. Could Jamal be as useful as Barbosa in the right situation and with the right attitude? That's a more difficult question.

Well that being said... Crawford is a respectable ball handler and passer and can legitly play the point guard position when the forces compel him. If they switch places... I think Crawford would be significantly better and be a good backup in PHX and I think Barbosa would be lost without the free reign in NY.

Barbosa easily. He's one of the most entertaining players to watch. Barbosa is like Crawford on his bad nights.

Crawford is the better big game player. Unfortunately he's also been poisoned by Isiah.

He played borderline All-Star under Brown. Isiah has convinced him he is Kobe.

I would personally prefer Barbosa right now, but if you switched teams, I think Crawford would be the better player...

^I doubt it. I think Barbosa would be a better fit on the Knicks.

14/3/4 is borderline All-Star? I agree, his shot selection that season was actually passable, but he played more like a borderline 6MOY candidate (which is really what he should be), not an All-Star.

Barbosa is having a down season, but he wins this easily by virtue of his superior shooting efficiency.
