itpicking? Your comparison is a 40% career shooter who's taken over 1/3 his shots in the dumb zone for his career.

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.

This whole "you obviously didn't watch Crawford in college" argument is beyond ridiculous.

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.
