Jamal Crawford has been a great 6th man for the Atlanta Hawks
Jamal Crawford has played in every game for the Atlanta Hawks this season, but has not started one game. He has fit in perfectly as the Atlanta Hawks sixth man and is the Hawks’ second leading scorer behind Joe Johnson despite coming off the bench. Crawford has a knack for hitting tough shots at key moments, something he showed a few games ago with a deep three at the buzzer to beat the Suns. On the season, Crawford is averaging 17.0 points, 2.7 assists, and 2.5 rebounds in 30.6 minutes per game. Crawford has always shown flashes of great play on offense ever since he came into the league, but in his 9-year career he has never made the playoffs. Crawford is now a huge contributor to a Hawks team that will definitely make the playoffs this season and I think Crawford is starting to run away with the 6th Man of the Year Award. Crawford is a very exciting player to watch and some of the “rainmaker” shots he makes are almost unbelievable at times. He does it often though, especially from behind the arc, with 21 career 4-point plays to prove it. That is only 3 behind Reggie Miller, who is the all-time leader in that category.
