Bulls fans watching Artest (before the brawl) Brad Miller, Elton Brand and Crawford having great careers and playing for winning team?
Or
Warriors fans watching Arenas, Hughes and Jamison average over 60/19/13 a night for the 13-9 Wizards?
I go with GS... because that could have been your team... literally.
My god, Chicago in a NY minute. Can you imagine: Miller, Brand, Artest, Craw, PG. WOW.
While I'm on Larry Hughes this is the guy Crawford should hope to emulate. Hughes was a skinny combo type like Crawford. A tall guard with point type skills and a 2's mentality that never really got how to run an offense. Hughes is still damn skinny but he's got about 10 pounds on Jamal. Hughes has become a hell of a defender and give you 6 rebs and 5 assists a night. Jamal is a more explosive scorer but could learn alot of from the other aspects oh Hughes game
I think the rap on Hughes early in his career was that he was a chucker who didn't have a position... either PG or SG. And he was a siv on D. Kinda sounds like the Craw situation to me too. Very similar.
I am waiting for this coming summer to finish so that we can see if Jamal adds about 10 lbs of upper body strength. Don't think he would lose the quickness and he would protect himself while going to the rim.
