Earlier today, the Pelicans signed Jordan Crawford to a two-year contract. It’s the first time he’s earned guaranteed money since 2013-2014, a season that began in Celtic green. In an unforgettable year, the Celtics tanked their way to a 25-57 record, but Crawford was one of the few bright spots, and his effectiveness gave fans a perspective of the player development abilities of Brad Stevens.
After opening the season 0-4, Stevens opted to start Jordan Crawford at point guard, an unfathomable idea at the time. Crawford was regarded as the ultimate shoot-first, ball-hogging, locker room-destroying player. But the Celtics won four straight after he started.
