Marbury is great, has all-world talent, and absolutley fearless at atacking the hoop. Crawford is nowhere near Marbury, cept maybe in 3pt accuracy and some flair in his passing game. But the attibute in Crawford that you have to like over Marbury is that with Marbury, you feel like almost no coach is going to have the authority to get thru to him. Jamal Crawford, on the flipside seems genuinely interested in listening to his coaches instructions and making alterations to his game for the betterment of the Knicks. The indictment on lenny Wilkens was that he didn't tell Jamal enough to mix up his game, not be such a chukker etc... he was willing to let Jamal shoot his way into it and that's not exactly what you want to tell a Basketball baby in terms of BBall IQ and experience. Jamal Crawford has had shockingly litte coaching, discount his years with the baby bulls, he had a year of college where i believe he missed half that season, and two years of HS ball. So he's had 2.5 years of coaching before joining the NBA..
That's why I vote to keep him, as a combo sg/pg utility player off the bench. The Yankess always have one of those backup infielders who can do it all, think Luis Sojo..
Jamal was supposed to be the 4th or 5th option when he was traded for:
Marbury, Houston, TThomas, Jamal, KT
Instead, we relied on him as our #2 option, and he took way too many shots. He shoulda been on the bench learning from watching AH, but thats not how this season unfolded.
Keep him. tho If he could be dealt for Maggette, i may change my mind.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.
