Craw is just too good a talent to let his game be defined by the three point shot...He is great at the end of games but far too many times he is out at the three point line chucking it at all the wrong times...When he is on there is no stopping this guy..His shot selection is just horrible...Why can't he just look at Rip Hamilton and say I can do that too...If Craw came in closer and shoot more two's, drive the lane the way he can, he could be an all star...Why is it taking him so long to see this???

crawford is not defined by the three point shot. he is defined as a bad decision making chucker.

but i agree with you...he needs to work off of screens and take set jumpers. i think that's his comfort zone, about 15-20 feet from the basket when he catches and shoots. when he has his feet set, he's an infintely better shooter. this off the dribble crap should cease and desist.

and i don't think isiah is using him right or coaching him properly.

I agree. Rip moves around alot and gets his offense off of screens that free him up. Crawford shoots about 85% of his shots in a one-on-one scenario after taking his man off the dribble. You are never going to hit a high percentage of those kind of shoots unless you are on a Jordan, D. Wade, LeBron, type level, which Crawford is not. We need to get more movement in the offense and allow Crawford to shoot more coming off screens. If he could just improve his shot selection and decision-making, he would be a really good player because of his one-on-one abilities.
