Crawford vs Richardson

[playoffs...PLAYOFFS?]

A while back ago someone had posted something along that lines that Crawford is worse than Richardson..To be honest, I've never kept up with Crawford and much less now that he is in the West coast.

But...his performance against the Bobcats was impressive, and basically he carried the team.

He seems a bit streaky, much like Jrich was IMHO..

But..I think were Crawford excels is his ability to get to the foul line much better than Jrich

Jrich was a great player for us...but he wasn't what we were hoping he would be. I wonder if Crawford would have done better under LB? Would Crawford be more of a go-to scorer & clutch than Jrich?

I'm not sure about Crawford, but it was clear to me that JRich wasn't the best fit in the world to LB's system. He always seemed out of place on plays and his scoring was down quite a bit.

Glad to see Diaw is trying to put up numbers as he did in 05-06, but actually he's been hotter than that even actually.

Sorry to be so off topic

I think the knock on Crawford (other than he's real streaky like you said) is his motivation to improve his overall game. Richardson lives in the gym over the summer trying to improve some weakness. Crawford mainly just focuses on shooting.

Crawford mainly just focuses on shooting.

he can score the ball quite well and can shoot no doubt but at time has poor shot selection
i was watching him a while back and he cost his team the game: in crunch time he dribbled down the court and popped a 3- and missed. next play he took a wayward reverse layup that resulted in hitting UNDER the backboard! baffled me too lol

as for whos better (j-rich/crawf) its a tough call. both are solid players that score

If we trade Felton to the Warriors, they have an excess of quality guards with Ellis, Crawford and Felton.....thats why I want Crawford back in the deal so he can start next to DJ. Bell can come off the bench.

That stupid NBA won't allow that to happen for another 50 days or so, which is bad news.....

Three guards isn't excess. In fact, having those three guards-- guys who can score and handle the rock-- is probably Nelson's dream come true. My guess is they keep Crawford and give us one of the other guards.
