Crawford stats etc.

[Joe Hironaka <j.hironaka@unesco.org>]

    ESPN's Andy Katz lists Jamal Crawford's name first among "Prospects
who made the most of Chicago" (at the Moody Bible camp). He writes
"Jamal Crawford, 6-6, Fr., Michigan: Decision making wasn't always on
target, but his size and fluidness at the point make him a potential
lottery pick."

    CBS SportsLine's George Rodecker -- who tends to err on the
over-hyped side in evaluating players --posted this evaluation of
Crawford prior to the Moody Bible camp:

    "A combo guard with limitless ability and potential..... In all
likelihood, barring a shocking display in Chicago, Crawford will indeed
make himself available for the draft and could likely end up in the
latter part of the first round. Crawford is a strong player with a wide
array of moves and a deep arsenal of shots. He can handle the ball
fairly well, get himself open and still find his teammates when
necessary. Defensively, he holds his own and is thought to be a budding
talent by many pro scouts. Some questions persist about his durability,
but Crawford's skills, coupled with the upside to his game, simply
cannot be ignored."
