Crowder has 27 points and 12 rebounds in an 85-80 OT win.
If Crowder can make his JUCO to MU transition like DJO did, then that'll be HUGE!
If he comes in like JFB did his first year, we'll still be okay.
As long as he's anywhere between those two in terms of first-year contribution, Crowder will be a good pick up.
He's (very) talented but he's our seventh guard!
He's a winner! I haven't watched this kid play but doesnt Lazar play his game from the perimeter? It sounds that his game is much like Lazars to me.

Didn't you hear? It's a guard's game.

We will be in great shape! Seriously, Crowder looks very good, but it was frustrating to see Zar, Jimmy and Joe get worn down as they hustled against much bigger players! Those guys - and the team in general - were true Warriors this year.
Crowder averaged about 20 and 10 for the tournament. He will likely be a Juco AA. While I have not seen him play, I suspect that he will start/see major minutes next year. We will need somebody like him--he sounds like a Lazar type, and will not likely be out of the line-up.
He is not a guard. He is a combo forward who can play inside and outside. He has a very good handle for a 6'6 kid.
I emailed one guru about him he described JC as a junk yard dog.
He was all over the court last night. The announcers couldn't stop raving about him.
He will help us next year.
I think he absolutely will be an All American. He was a pre-season first team AA; averaged 19 and 9 during the season; led his team to the National Championship while averaging 20 and 10 in the tournament and was named to the all-tournament team. I can't imagine he will not be a first team AA.
