How dare you attempt to influence our biases with numbers.

Hinrich

Depends on whether Crawford keeps getting better or not.

Be careful, if you choose Hinrich you're going to be called a racist.

Hinrich is obviously more fundamentally sound, but Craw can take over a game when he's on.

i'd take Hinrich if i had to choose because i prefer his style of play on my team, but overall i think Craw is more talented.

Hinrich's actually younger than Crawford is, so to base it on potential is silly since Hinrich theoretically has more.

Day to day you obviously have to take Hinrich, he's far more consistent and better defensively, but as TMS pointed out Crawford can take over games.

Consistency and defense or the ability to game over, you're pick, I'd say its a push.

Hinrich because of the defense, decision-making, and consistency. It's not even close.

what a stupid question,not even close crawford is not a good player, he is one dimensional and kills this knicks defensively....

lets be realistic

Craw has more talent, Hinrich is the better player now. Craw can take games over, but he is too inconsistant for that to be much of a factor. He has played poorly with Steph out, and during stretches throughout.

I'll take defense and consistancy over horible D and occasionally breakout performances followed by 2 point outings. Especially for where our team is now. The spurs, and pistons can afford to have a player like Craw on their squad, we can't because we rely on him and when he sucks we lose.

hinrich is a PG, JC is not. but looking strictly at their numbers, hinrich is better.
