7. Jamal Crawford (6)

Season averages: 21.0 MPG – 10.2 PPG – 3.3 APG – 0.5 SPG – 36.4% FG – 45.8% 3PT – 90.9% FT

Weekly average: 22.4 MPG – 10.3 PPG – 4.0 APG – 0.7 SPG – 29.4% FG – 44.4% 3PT – 80% FT

A go-ahead 3-point shot in the final minute against the Utah Jazz was the difference maker in last weeks power rankings, and seeing as there was no heroics this week, Jamal Crawford will slightly fall.

Crawford didn’t have a terrible week by any means, his 18-point, 9-assist game – which included four 3’s – against Indiana may have kept the Timberwolves from a (somehow) even bigger blowout.

Speaking of 3’s, Crawford has been on fire from behind the arc.

The three-time Sixth Man Of The Year has shot over 45 percent from range, doing so on 4 attempts per game.

His place may have dropped in the power rankings, but JCrossover will be a fantastic edition to the Timberwolves if he continues playing this way.
