6. Jamal Crawford (7)

Season stats: 20.2 MPG – 10.8 PPG – 2.6 APG – 1.4 RPG – 40.7% FG – 43.6% 3PT – 95.5% FT

Weekly stats: 19.0 MPG – 11.8 PPG – 1.5 APG – 2.0 RPG – 48.4% FG – 40% 3PT – 100% FT

It was another typical week in the life of Jamal Crawford.

The Sixth Man extraordinaire continued to show his value to the Wolves bench, a key element to the crazy improvement of the team.

They don’t call him JCrossover for nothin’.

His ability to hit big buckets has been a massive difference maker for the Wolves bench that has lacked a spark for far too long. His week started well with 13 points in Miami, and ended even better with 15, including three 3’s against Charlotte.

This defense-drawing play is one of the main reasons why Gorgui Dieng and Nemanja Bjelica are finding open ways to score, every game.

This is why we see Jamal leapfrog Bjelica in this week’s power rankings, but it looks like it will be a battle that takes place the entire season.
