6. Jamal Crawford

Weekly averages: 19.6 MPG – 10.0 PPG – 2.7 APG – 1.0 RPG – 47.6% FG – 50% 3PT – 100% FT

He calls himself J. Crossover. I call him J. Clutch.

A 17-point final quarter barrage from Crawford ended the Minnesota Timberwolves’one-gamee losing streak, and ended any thought that Crawford was finished making big shots in this league.

That man has ice in his veins.

He had a stinker the following game against the Thunder, but his game saving heroics in Utah was enough to grab him the sixth man spot in the power ranking this week, a place the three-time Sixth Man Of The Year winner has grown accustomed too.

His shooting numbers have been absolutely off the chart for a guy who has been relied on to hold the weight of a struggling bench, so expect them to drop as the sample size increases.

For now though, lets just bask in that Utah performance.
