I dont think the team is looking to mold Precious to be another ‘Jae Crowder’. Besides, Herro did fine under jimmy’s tutelage and they play different positions. The rook will have plenty of people guiding and helping in his development. I still suspect Crowder will be back but if he’s not I dont think Precious is missing out at all.
Actually they will. The attributes that Crowder is good at, Achiuwa will need to be good at to be trusted on the floor next to Bam. Achiuwa is gonna need to know how to defend the same players that Crowder defends. Learning how to read the defense and offense and learning how to position one self. Achiuwa has a lot more tools than Crowder, learning the role and the responsibilities is what gonna get him on the court. Shotrten season, without summer league or Gleague to get that coaching, veterans are going to need to teach him like how it was done in the 90s.
