Really love Blake's improved jumpshot.

Another interesting thing is that with the ability to create plays off pick and roll with Felton and Bass and Speights abilities to score and/or finish, will Jamal still take as many FGA/min as he has been in the past? There really is no need for Jamal to be a volume scorer / ball handler with the bench anymore.

thinking on it, it's kind of amazing right? we have speights now who takes a lot of shots (and they're actually fairly high quality), and if blake's in there too along with felton, then what role does crawford even play? he can't defend, he can't rebound, he doesn't wanna pass, he's not a floor spacer like jj, etc.

I tried to watch this between innings of the Dodgers game but didn't even think about looking on TNT. All I saw were highlights but those rarely tell the story for me. Sounds like the second unit is really playing well?

Jamal can be a very good spot up shooter, and he would be another creator, he's a low turnover guy most of the time, so that's good, but it would be nice to see him not taking a shot every two minutes.

i acknowledge that's all true, though i think he's gotten pretty awful with turnovers the past couple years. but are they really strengths if he doesn't often take advantage of them on the court? it's something that we've been saying he should be doing more of, for years, yet he doesn't so i don't think he's capable of changing who he is and becoming that player.

I think that's the hope. He is a good spot up the shooter. He is particularly good at catch and shoot from the corner. Which is why it's maddening he doesn't do it more often.

How can Crawford turn the ball over if he doesn't pass it and always takes the shot, no matter where he is?
