Since arriving in Boston, Jae Crowder evolved from an end of the bench guy into a full-time starter for a contending Celtics team. The city of Boston has embraced their new small forward and because of that, he was rewarded with a five-year contract worth $35 million. Though GM Danny Ainge and the C's seem committed to Crowder, an anonymous NBA scout via Sports Illustrated is less than convinced of the situation.
Crowder has to take another step. He’s a good player and can lock down threes but I’m not convinced that he is their small forward of the future.
