Crowder runs down a loose ball, while the other nine millionaires on the court watch.

I love this guy!

He might be after Green is traded.

+1

Definitely a future leader of the Cs second unit. I don't know what his contract looks like, but Ainge needs to keep him around.

He is the kind of player ever gm and fan wants on their team...until he actually gets paid what he deserves. I liken it to the Brandon Bass situation.

I am a fan, though, and love him as a vet min guy moving forward (I know, unlikely).

Loved the effort that he played with, didn't love the 3 layups he missed, tonight.

I think he will be the starter when/if Green gets dealt, but if that's the case I expect us to draft a small forward early.

No comparison.

Bass is an undersized power forward.

Crowder is a decent sized small forward.

I kind of meant that everybody will love Crowder until he is making 7 million / yr. Then we will still appreciate what he is doing, but will be desperate to move on from him and his contract before the ink even dries.

Future captain material. Might end up being the best piece from the Rondo trade. 

This guy plays hard every sec. Playoff basketball all the time

Only thing of value (I know, the TPE, blah blah blah) that we got in the Rondo trade. He is a keeper and will be a nice 7th or 8th man of the bench if and when we become competitive again.

He was a beast in college. Surprised he slid as much as he did in the draft. Always a place for a mentally and physically tough energy guy.

Bradley is undersized and thus overpaid.

Crowder is not undersized, so he is a better investment.
That's my point.
