Do you think things will change after 7 years?
Especially with a roster with no superstars or all stars?
What is the point of starting a loser who constantly overdribbles and takes terrible shots?
D'Antoni's system is pick and roll, full court basketball, simple quick dribbling.
Crawford is half retarded with the pick and roll, he's not that fast dribbling, he's more into flash than going up the court full speed.
Crawford is a 39% FG shooter...dropping him would give Chandler, Lee, Houston, Robinson, Marbury, Gallinari much more shot attempts, all these men shoot a higher % than Crawford.
Thats a positive.
Everything I say has a background of history with validity, supported by stats and past games we've seen Houston succeeded in and Crawford failed in.
Crawford could take more shot attempts and cross more people over, but does that equate to wins or taking the leadership role and teaching our young players the NBA game?
Houston could teach, not only produce...Crawford is still a child in his mind, I don't want that in the locker room.
