Holfresh, the definition of a PG or the assist totals of guards is moot in this.
Crawford has been the primary ball handler for quite a long time now. The majority of his shots come off of his own creation - most of those of which occur with him taking the ball up the court, looking over the defense, and deciding to go 1-1 by himself.
I don't know what you're missing, or, maybe what I am missing, but the guy has been the most ball dominant guard of all our guards. He's the primary decision maker of the offense and the primary shooter (which as I said stems off of he being the primary decision maker)
That makes him the primary ball handler - thus the primary decision maker with the ball - thus - THE STARTING POINT GUARD - even if he "starts" at "shooting guard" - that does not matter.
He has been in this role for a very long time.
Kobe Bryant is the main ballhandler for the Lakers & the main shot taker... so you consider him their PG?
