Hoopinion: ESPN.com (Insider): Thorpe: Rookie Watch

[Hawksquawk]

David Thorpe ranks Jordan Crawford's Summer League performance 18th among rookies:

Crawford is viewed as a pure scorer, and he showed that in Vegas. Although he didn't shoot well overall, he displayed his ability to shoot from 3 and exhibited solid court vision and feel. I also liked the fact that he looked to make plays on D. I liked him better than I expected to.

Crawford didn't shoot especially well (He missed all seven three-pointers he attempted over the last three games in Vegas.) but he was largely above the Vegas Summer League averages, which is probably what one should expect from a first round pick.
