So no, Hield and Crawford seem pretty much nothing alike other than neither are assist guys.
who was your comparison again?
you're nitpicking and probably too young to understand the comparison at all.
2014-15 Eric Gordon with better health.
And here we go with the straw man argument. i suppose the legendary memory of LE is greater than statistics.
nitpicking? Your comparison is a 40% career shooter who's taken over 1/3 his shots in the dumb zone for his career. Hield lives at the rim or beyond the arc.
He had a whopping 50% TS% his final year in college before coming out for the draft.
He also had character concerns and question marks. Buddy Hield and Jamal Crawford have very little in common. This whole "you obviously didn't watch Crawford in college" argument is beyond ridiculous. Go look up his last year at Michigan. I don't know if you guys are some Michigan fan bois or just pretending to watch so much ball you can remember these guys in college 16 years back. The stats show you have no clue WTF you're talking about.
Btw, Hield had a better TS % than Crawford's last year as a So. And a Jr. I went in digging around expecting Crawford to be an inefficient chucker but he exceeded expectations.
If you want a college comparison..Brandon Roy

again which is why i said Hield would be a more efficient version of Crawford. My comparison at its root had to do with 3 things.
A)body type, 6'4" range with decent length. Hield being a little more squatty
B)ability to be mobile with the ball. Neither are just "spot up shooters".
C)Role on the team that drafts him. 16-18ppg scorer, offering not much else in the rebounding or assist category.
His shot selection will be better than Crawford's from day 1, and he is a much better shooter at this juncture. Half of Hield's shots are 3 pointers, so what exactly is chucker by your definition?
If you want to split hairs, fine. If comparing a 4 yr SR's college stats to a 1 and done makes sense to you, thats cool too. If you want to also sit here and pretend like every single part of Hield's game will translate to the NBA, right on. I dont expect him to find his shot as easy as he has this year at OK, but i still like him as a prospect.

ok, well if we are just going to cherry pick years, the 09-10 Crawford with ATL.

That's not my point. My point is if you only know the Clippers version of Crawford, then you only know the guy that plays the role as 3pt shooter. I honestly dont know how old you are, but Crawford has been in the league for 16 years.
Same holds true for Eric Gordon. His game isnt what it used to be. He cant do shite off the dribble any more.
