Weaknesses:

Because of the Splash Brothers, the Warriors are perceived as a team that drills a ton of threes. Unfortunately, no one told Steezy that his three-ball wasn’t an ideal shot for a team that struggled to put the ball in the hole all season long. Despite averaging three attempts from downtown per game, Crawford converted on just 31.3 percent of them.

Crawford’s Player Efficiency Rating dropped from 15.7 in 39 games with the Celtics down to 11.9 in 42 games with the Dubs. His scoring and assist numbers dropped to 8.4 points and 1.4 assists per game in Golden State, significant drop-offs from his mirage of a half-season in Boston. Crawford’s shot selection has never been his strong suit, but it was even worse with the Warriors where he was expected to be a primary scoring option off the bench.
