Minnesota Timberwolves: 5 goals for Jamal Crawford’s 2017-18 season

Jamal Crawford has become the latest addition of the Timberwolves revolution, though it is not only a new chapter for Minnesota, but for JC.

Jamal Crawford is a nearly man. Seven playoff appearances spread across the Atlanta Hawks and Los Angeles Clippers make him one of ‘those’ players without an NBA ring.

Not that a ring presupposes great players – a success – a feeling Steve Nash, Allen Iverson, Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley and Karl Malone know all-to-well.

Not that Crawford may even be considered in this ‘illustrious’ group of guys, a man more famous for being a bench influence than a starting five player.

His move to the Clippers was met with hostility – the best they could get? a no-show of ambition? His three Sixth Man awards say otherwise.

Waived by his former club the Hawks, Minnesota took the decision to bring the veteran to Minneapolis.

A chance to cap off his NBA career on a high, that vet quality the Timberwolves have lacked could be one of five goals Crawford needs to display, becoming the player he used to be.
