Crowder's gotta go...

The good thing about Jae is that even though his three has been hit and miss his overall FG % and FTR have improved this year.

I think he should start... I think we'd get good Jae more often... and we need good Jae more often.

I agree. I'd rather see Jae shoot 10 corner 3's than watch Favors shoot 1
 
I really like Jae for the role he plays and the unity he helps build with this team. I get the feeling he feels like he has found a home, and for our chemistry that is a great thing. Really he is a much more skilled and talented Booker when you think about it, and that has been a dream for me since Booker left us. I loved Booker and always wished we could have him but with a better feel for the game and a better outside shot. And I give you...Jae Crowder. BOOM!

If he could just rebound like Booker then we’d be set.
 
For everyone wanting us to be an offensive juggernaut let's us remember who this team is built around and what our coach wants our identity to be. I'll give you a hint, we're built around the reigning dpoy. If and when we get into the playoffs defense will always give us our best chance to win. Yes, we need better production on offense, but just wanting it doesn't make it happen. Smart moves over a period of time does.
 
When folks say the "Boston version of Crowder" they really mean the 2016-17 version of Jae Crowder. That year he started every game and played the majority of his minutes with Isiah Thomas - who had defenses scrambling all season.

Statistically that season was probably an outlier - his other two seasons with Boston are pretty much on par with how he's performed this year. So basically what we've seen is a regression towards the mean.
 
As long as Crowder plays his game he is fine. When he starts trying to shoot off the dribble and fading away we get in trouble. I haven't checked his stats, but it seems like he has a low finish rate at the rim. While I don't think he is great, I don't know who you replace him with. He is a good value for his contract.
