jamal crawford seems reminds me a lot of larry hughes.

they both have low field goal percentages
they're both relatively athletic, but don't possess superstart type athleticism
i remember when larry hughes came over to washington, they were saying he could play the 1,2, or 3, just like theyre saying with crawford
but when hughes tried to play the 1, he wasn't that great, he basically felt most comfortable playing the 2.
when i watched him play, he was never really a "take over the game" type star. i think crawford has been a little bit overrated by isiah. hes an average 2 guard in the nba.
but, anyway, speaking of the washington wizards. is there any chance we can get kwame brown this season or next (in case washington doesnt plan on giving him a big contract after this one expires)? he's like jermaine o'neal. portland drafted him out of high school, and for his entire tenure at portland, he wasnt very good. but after 3-4 yrs of experience, he became a star with indiana. it'd be a great thing if we could get kwame when he breaks out as a star now that hes got someexperience under his belt. i think hell be even better than swift.
and, speaking of teams that draft players who come out too early - WHY DO THEY DO IT? what good did it do portlant to draft o'neal? what good will it have done washington to draft kwame if he leaves for another team? its great that these young kids want to make money, who wouldnt? but i, as a gm, just woulndt draft a guy unless i felt he could contribute (in a significant way) immediately, or within a year or two. portland keeps drafting these high school kids - telfair, outlaw, etc..., and what happens if they cant sign them to bigger contracts after their rookie contracts expire?
