Low key - shorter Lionel Simmons vibe.
I think it means he'll be competing with Mason Jones for that 3rd 2-way contract. That is, unless one of them makes the main roster, which is definitely possible at this point. We need a third PG and a third PF.

Hey look, a clear 2nd round 3 and D talent we got as an UDFA. Thanks Monte!

Monte sucks in the 2nd round. But the THIRD round? Genius

NBA Comparison
Crawford has all the skills and tools to be an excellent modern role player that teams keep an eye out for. For instance, multiple teams have brought him in for workouts. Due to his skill set, there are quite a few NBA players who share similarities with Crawford. One player is Jerami Grant, who shares Crawford’s shooting and defensive capabilities. OG Anunoby is another player that comes to mind due to also being a defensive-minded wing who can guard multiple positions and shoot the ball like Crawford.

Yup. This is McNair's "2nd round pick",.....just like we soon figured out that Keon Ellis was two seasons ago.
I think he and his scouts have a knack for this. Quite a contrast from the seemingly non existent scouting talent from the dark years

Hall of Famer
This kid from Utility Sports who does a nice job with draft stuff considered Crawford a first round talent who compares to DFS. Starts at 5:25
By the thumbnail it's either a pretty man or a handsome woman.
He was 72.7% on 3.4 FTA 2 seasons ago
He was 72.8% on 5.1 FTA last season
Looks like a pretty clear growth with his shooting:
year 1: 60% FT, 32% 3
Year 2: 65% FT, 38% 3
Year 3: Hurt
Year 4: 72% FT, 42% 3
Year 5 72% FT, 41% 3
Interestingly enough, he'll be 23 at the start of the season. Pretty "young" for a 5 year college guy

nice progression
think I am liking this kid from the stuff posted. I hope we really did get another steal.
Also appreciate when they say Minny, Boston and Denver are ideal fits as a first round selection.

Word on the street is that teams were reluctant, because he had two injuries on his knee. Regardless, he's more than worth taking a long look at with our roster
Those are often the guys that do pay off. Although they may not have long careers.

It's hard to tell. Every MPJ in the league there's also a Greg Oden looming.
Our local favorite Giles were once No. 1-rated player in the 2016 ESPN 100 before he tore his ACL, MCL and meniscus in the same knee.

OG had a bunch of leg issues and still got drafted in the first round because he was still young. Hell, Topic’s camp hid the fact he tore his ACL for a couple of months and he still would up getting picked at 12.
It always feels like these “We’re passing on this guy because of his injury history” decisions are completely arbitrary haha
Greg Oden was picked first overall, not a UDFA. To be clear, I'm talking about "first round talent" that falls waaaaaaay below their mock.
