i would disagree that the position is cursed. ben gordon and jamal crawford are obviously both above average shooting guards.

Crawford wasn't when he was on the Bulls, he stunk on both the Bulls and the Knicks, although he has turned his career around with the Hawks.

below average? i know he doesn't play defense but you gotta give props to a guy who's dropped 50 on three different teams. he's a perfect sixth man because of the role, not because he's not talented enough to start.

Crawford scored a lot of points because he shot a lot of shots. Occasionally he'd have a night where all his shots would go in and he'd get 50. More often he'd have a night where he shoots 8/20, he gets no free throw attempts because he himself admitted he was afraid to drive, and his team loses.

Crawford was a chucker.

I dont think they knew Roys health would be this bad but im sure they had their concerns. Who knows what Wes would have gotten if the Bulls went after him early. Oh yeah and Morrow too. He's not a complete SG but the kid can ball and is still growing. I know his health has been shaky this year too.

I like Morrow a lot. He has expanded his game offensively. He is shooting better from midrange now. I really wanted them to go after him. He was cheap and young and still growing.

I don't understand your point. If he is an efficient scorer at the shooting guard position, he is above average based off of that alone. His ballhandling skills and his ability to create a shot are also pluses. He is a smarter player now and knows how to use his strengths and he is not afraid to take the big shot. I don't understand at all how you can say he is average. That makes no sense.

sorry i meant he's an inefficient scorer. he takes a lot of shots to get his points. I think we might have different definitions of average. Are you saying he's an above average nba player? If so i agree. the average nba player is a bench player. If you're saying he's an above average starter, i dont agree.

A 6MOTY candidate and winner is not average.

He doesn't start. But he is better than the average nba starting shooting guard, no question. Look around the league...he would definitely start on a lot of teams. He is above average across the board...

Crawford right now is above average at least offensively, and has actually become pretty efficient given the volume he shoots. The standard at SG is pretty low, you have a few stars then a huge drop off to the average guy.

Fine, he isn't an above average wing player.
