Some deep thinker on the list announced that we were 
in love with Crawford weeks ago -- and gave in evidence the fact
that we hadn't had him in for a workout.  I don't know who I take
between him and Alexander.  If forced at gunpoint to choose without
working them both out and watching tape of both, I would say
Crawford for his upside.  I think you have a pretty good idea of 
what alexander can do, and we don't really need a shooting specialist
in the starting lineup, not with Paul and Antoine. (and Kenny.)  He
might help in the 2nd unit, but Crawford could end up as our PG of 
the future.
