Jae Crowder
SG/SF, 6’6, 235lbs, 26 years old, 5 years of experience
Very valuable and very competitively priced. If he is to be upgraded, it is not because he has in any way disappointed. Crowder exhibited a much improved three-point stroke this season that put him towards the very top of the pile of the best three-and-D players in the game, an asset in trade but an asset on the team for the short, medium and (if you'd like) long term futures. Awkwardly yet helpfully, Crowder is both a player not to be given away, and a perfect foundational piece (both financially and in terms of quality of play) for a trade for a star player. Any team trading away a star player would love to be able to say "at least we got Jae Crowder" back in return, no?
Player Plan: One of the team-friendliest contracts in the league, with three years and circa. $22 million left. Young, cheap, productive, versatile and locked in, he will surely have great value - it is probably worth gauging how much so.

[...] Further complimenting those two is junior college transfer Jae Crowder, who gives Marquette an easy Lazar Hayward replacement. Crowder, listed with small forward size at 6'6 225lbs, plays more of a power forward's game. He makes shots in the interior and from mid-range, but is also capable of stepping out for a three, and is efficient from all areas. He's also a good passer and smart player, who plays energetically and athletically on the defense end. If he could dribble better, he'd tick pretty much every box.
