Jamal Crawford

[Portmanteau]

Anyone see that double-behind the back runner that he hit in the Bulls final game? That was sick. The Bulls will contend for the Eastern Conference next year and many years to come with the young fivesome of Curry, Chandler, Crawford, Williams and Fizer.

You could be more use of me if could tell me where to find some footage of this move.

As an aside, someone interestingly pointed out on a forum I was looking at today that even though the Bulls had two high picks in both the 2000 and 2001 drafts, the best two players they got from either draft were the lower of the picks... IIRC, in 2000 Fizer was 4th and Crawford 8th and in 2001, Chandler was 2nd and Curry was 4th. Admittedly the Mihmster was traded for Crawford, but you get that...

Hopefully this name will stick for the most exciting 7-foot white spiky-haired Cavalier in the NBA.

Jamal is a brilliant talent, but i don't see room for both him and Jay Williams.

I know Jay Williams is young, but for a guy tipped to be ROTY, he was an unmitigated failure.

I don't believe both of these guys will be in Chicago next season.

I saw the title of this thread and started having nightmares.

If both these guys mature, anyone think there is a rough chance of a Bibby/Jackson type duo forming?

Alternatively; if Chicago are to deal one - who will it be??

And they'd be justifiable nightmares

I'm now a lifelong fan.

It's great for my Chicago Bulls. Maybe we are finally back in the playoff picture. Curry and Chandler could dominate the league for the next ten years but Crawford and Williams will certianly be a problem.

They started together for the final 5 or so games of the season but I hear rumors that that wont last and one of them will be dealt. At first you think it is an easy decision, just trade Crawford but he cant be denied with the season he has had.

J-Will has struggled but I think that is more because of the triangle offence than his own skills. He is a run and gun type player. The triangle offence is anything but run and gun. Should be an interesting off season for the Bulls.

Im of course hoping we keep both and just start them together. Williams, Crawford, Rose, Chandler, Curry! Playoffs? Maybe...

So the triangle offence is to blame for his pathetic FT% (one of the worst in the league) and his shocking record with turnovers?

To have 2.3 turnovers in only 26 minutes indicates more then just a lack of understanding of the offence.

BTW As i said before the season, there is only one J-Will and it ain't this bust.

Aboslutely. There's only one gun-totin' rebound king Jayson Williams!

The triangle offence has nothing to do with his FT%. He is just a terrible shooter. He no doubt will have to work on that in the summer...or our winter. 2.3 in 26 minutes isnt as bas as it looks. If he plays 35 minutes a night then that number may go up to around 3.5 but he still wouldnt be the worst in the league. Anyway, most rookies always turn the ball over, particularly PG's.

He has plenty of room for improvement and is probably the more gifted player between Crawf and Will but I hope we can somehow keep both. I doubt it though.

They might, but not as often as Jay Williams.

The fact that he's a rookie is a convienent excuse to cover up what is, at this point, an inept PG.

His 2.26 turnovers would be acceptable if he were getting 7-10 assists a night, but he's only getting 4.7

His A/T ratio is the second worst in the league for true point guards (only Darrell Armstrong is worse).

BTW The real J-Will leads the league in A/T ratio.

Im not comparing him to the other J-Will which by the way, he sucked in the early part of his career...turned it over too much, was too wild. That's why the Kings got rid of him for Bibby.

Give J-Will some time. You act as if he wont work on his game to get better.
