Golden State Warriors 2013-14 Player Grades: Jordan Crawford

Highlights:

When Crawford got hot, however, he was a delight to watch (as many NBA players are). He had a couple of games where he provided the instant offense the Dubs were looking for, including a 19-point game against the Dallas Mavericks that came in just 16 minutes in April. However, it seemed somewhat fitting that Crawford’s best game of the season came in a meaningless season finale against the Denver Nuggets.

In a season-high 41 minutes, Crawford dropped 41 points, five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal against the Nuggets. He went 16-of-28 from the floor, despite going 2-for-8 from downtown. In a four-point win, the Warriors prevailed on the back of Crawford’s extended minutes and instant offense. These kind of outbursts from Crawford are rarer than Golden State would have liked, but they were pretty enjoyable when they did occur.
