2016 Outlook: Jae Crowder

Related Topics: Jae Crowder

Jae Crowder emerged as one of the league's best role players for the Celtics last season, recording career-highs across the board in his fourth NBA season. The 25-year-old put up 14.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.7 steals per game, and fit in beautifully as a versatile player on both sides of the ball for coach Brad Stevens. Celtics' role players will all likely see a dip in their production with the introduction of Al Horford to the offense, and No. 3 overall pick Jaylen Brown could eat into Crowder's playing time a bit, but he is still a terrific all-around contributor, who should go by the middle rounds in category-based Fantasy leagues this fall.
