Jae Crowder

You need resistance.

That's where Jimmy used to come in, where Jimmy's come in or Jay Crowder, right? These like really physical, strong guys at the wing position that are kind of helping.

They're digging, they're stunting, you know, all that stuff when the guys turn the corner on the pick and roll.

We're not doing...

Fun fact, before we move on past our rotation at the five.

Dwight Powell, and I'm bringing this up, only a few of you are old enough to remember this era, but Dwight Powell was involved in the Rajon Rondo trade way back in 2014, where the Mavericks sent out Jay Crowder, Jameer Nelson, Brandon Wright, a first and a second round pick in exchange for Dwight Powell and Rajon Rondo.

Now we know how it ended with Rondo.

It was like budding heads of Rick Carlisle.

We've seen it done a multitude of times.

The Bucs themselves have paired four or five second-round picks to go get P.J. Tucker and Jay Crowder, players like that, in the past.

So we know that second-round picks, even if they're not very valuable as far as utilizing them, and that's not fully true either.

We've seen second-round picks become really solid players in a lot of different instances, too.

They had

Crowder and Isaiah Thomas.

Isaiah

Thomas and stuff like that.

And I felt like...

it was a huge mistake early in our era to move on from the Jay Crowders and the Solomon Hills and whatever.

And they even came in there and said, we tripled down on youth because...

When you had Kyle Anderson and you had Tyus Jones and you had Solo and you had Jay Crowder, you had guys that had like long careers in the NBA that had been a part of winning and like were real professionals, right? And if nothing else, young guys are accountable to those.
