Jordan Crawford is fun to watch

[Who]

I don't think I've ever enjoyed a player less. Just outright hate him. To the point where I kind of am disappointed when he does something right b/c I just want him gone.

Yeah, this is exactly where I am with Jordan Crawford too. I cringe every time he comes onto the floor and don't stop cringing until he heads back to the bench.

He's a legend. Needs more touches. If we're gonna lose, I want to go down with someone like him. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/jordan-crawford-who-thinks-he-can-be-better-than-michael-jordan?urn=nba,wp9911

I love this dude, but I do understand why some people hate his style of play.
He is reckless and a dare devil. And I think that's what we need out of our bench. We need an unpredictable scorer. It will definitely throw off the opponents scouting report on us.
The teams know that KG will 90% always pop on a pick.
Paul Pierce is deadly in the elbow.
Jet will shoot 3's at least 70% of the time.
Bass lives in the mid range, occasionally drives.
Green posts up if you put a smaller defender on him.

But Crawford is unpredictable because he is (I think) straight up Crazy.
And I like it.
About time this team needed a Crazy guy.

Yeah, I don't think any team needs a crazy guy or unpredictable guy....

Confidence is key (ahem, Green)

I don't get it.

Do I love his game?  No.

But he's been helping us big time since he came in.  We need someone offensive minded.  And as opposed to be just a jacker from outside, he actually goes to the rim, which almost no one on our team does.

I don't know about fun to watch but I think if this kid can get his energy focussed on playing team ball and being a bit more selective with his offense, we may have a good bench guard on our hands.

he's got some offensive skill and has plenty of self confidence which is a positive.  reminds me of E'twaun Moore a bit but less-disciplined.

I don't hate Jordan Crawford as a player, but I am very disappointed in his (lack of) athleticism.  Let's face it- the guy is not a great athlete and he often struggles to get good shots because of it.  I'm not high on him as a long term solution for the C's.

Hm?

In what way is he unathletic?

He makes some athletic drives.  He isn't a above the rim type or anything but he is athletic.  He doesn't look pretty handling the ball but that's a different story.

[CapnDunks]

I think he looks less in control than he is. His dribbling style looks like he's constantly about to lose the handle.


But clearly it is unpredictable for the man guarding him as well. He's playing decently in a very specific role. I also believe he'll get better at shot selection/BBIQ once he spends longer with real leadership.
