2010 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Jordan Crawford


Position: Shooting Guard

Size: 6-4, 195

School: Xavier, Sophomore


Strengths:
  • Natrual scorer from anywhere on the floor
  • Terrific in one-on-one situtaions
  • Creates space to get off his shot with ease
  • NBA range from three and beyond
  • Slashing ability
  • Smooth finisher with either hand
  • Can take over a game offensively
  • Steps up in the big moment
  • Creates for teammates
  • Moves well away from the ball



    Weaknesses:
  • Prone to turn over the ball because he plays so much one-on-one
  • Has been characterized as selfish
  • Commitment to the defensive end
  • A bit undersized so he may struggle guarding bigger, more physical NBA shooting guards

    Summary: By blowing up on the biggest stage of them all, the NCAA Tournament, Crawford saw his stock jump. He proved he is one of the elite scorers in college basketball whether it’s getting to the basket or firing from deep. Crawford has an NBA game with his ability to break down defenders in one-on-one situations. I don’t see how he is not a first-round pick this year.

    Player Comparison: Anthony Morrow. Morrow is an extremely talented offensive player and has quickly become one of the top three-point threats in the league. Crawford can stroke it from deep as well and will make a living in the NBA due to his dynamic ability to score the basketball.
