How long til we can trust Jae Crowder?

[candrew]

I can probably name 50 vet players in the league that I would pick Crowder over them in a heartbeat that make more money than him.

He's probably one of the lowest risk/highest reward veterans in the NBA. Worst case scenario he's a is a more skilled Booker. Best case, he's a legit starter for a playoff team (which he has been already)

I trust fall trust him... but not quite leave him at home with my wife alone trust him.

I think maybe he is at the level where I trust him enough to take care of my dog while I’m on vacation.

Yes. Let's say you have an inoperable brain tumor, but Crowder is perfectly willing to open you up and pull it out. Yes or no?

Operating on something inoperable. It’s inoperable but not inCrowderable.

I approve of this thread. Smashing success.

He passed the test long ago for me, even when it was being said that maybe he would come back as a compensation piece for losing the other guy. His performance in Cleveland was an aberration. Not a superstar, but a genuine piece that makes a difference in wins/losses in the tier below.

I bought a used car a while back. Took me TWO trips to California until I was comfortable that it wasn't going to be a lemon and money pit.

How many games til we are comfortable with Jae and what he's bringing to the Jazz night in and night out?

I'm going to say 20 games into NEXT season for me. Where you at?

I trust him more than Rodney already.

I hope none of you have to eat CROWder on this one.

Yes. Let's say you have an inoperable brain tumor, but Crowder is perfectly willing to open you up and pull it out. Yes or no?

Hmm. Does he get to use medical equipment or is he just going to use a rock or something?

Trusted him in 2012.

He’s Crowder. He can use WTF he wants.

Unless Jae starts hating life (seems like he's loving it right now), then he'll go out there, do his thing, the team will benefit, and the fans will rejoice. He's just a couple of games in and he's already earning his stripes on this team, so I'm completely good with him on this team.
