Sitting at No. 6 in this countdown, Jae Crowder is clearly a key cog in the Utah Jazz machine. Such was definitely the case last season, when he helped the team to a 29-6 finish. That said, it’s hard to make heads or tails of his post-deadline run with the Jazz, statistically speaking.
Individually, it was a struggle for the 28-year-old; he was a sub-40 percent shooter from the field, knocked down just 31.6 percent of his triples and struggled with his rim finishing at times as well. And yet, the Jazz played their best ball after acquiring Crowder and boasted one of the league’s most productive five-man units with him at the power forward.
