Veteran shooting guard and Detroit native Jordan Crawford has been working out with the Detroit Pistons according to Ben Stinar of Amico Hoops.
However, for those puzzling over why a team that already has too many players on its roster would bring in a 30-year-old guard it likely doesn’t need, take note of the wording.
“Working out with the Detroit Pistons,” per Amico Hoops. Not working out FOR the Pistons. There are probably a couple things going on here:
- A local guy wants to continue his career but with a real shot at NBA roster looking unlikely he’s staying local and the team is nice enough to provide facilities and professionals
- Crawford wants to return to the NBA so this is simply a way of getting his name out there and reminding other franchises he still exists and hungry for another shot
- Crawford played overseas last season and is likely headed there again as you can still make a very good living in pro ball overseas.
