The Argentinean currently has 12.8 PPG from 4 games this season, having started in none.
#1 Jamal Crawford
JAMAL CRAWFORD
LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS
83 OVR
The reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year, Crawford is the definition of "instant offence". He averaged 18.6 PPG in 69 games, starting in just 24 for the Clippers in the previous season. He is known for his ability to get past opponents with his creative ball-handling, and consistently pulling up for three pointers, which allows him to space the floor for his team.
He currently holds the record for the most career four-point plays made with 44, and is only just the fourth player in NBA history to have won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year award twice (2010 and 2014)
