After watching for a while, Hansen realized that it wasn't the case at all.
Jamal Crawford, nicknamed "J-Crossover" by fans, has his strongest skill in ball handling, effortlessly changing directions to outmaneuver opponents.
But Jordan Crawford's ball handling is rather average; he couldn't even shake off Erik Meno in the last attack of the first quarter.
However, his ability to hit open threes is quite good, definitely stronger than "J-Crossover."
Besides that, his athleticism is more explosive than "J-Crossover's," even though he is slender, his jumping and hang time are first-rate.
Having seen enough, Hansen seemed to understand why the Hawks chose him but didn't develop him.
They selected him because of his natural athletic talent, but didn't develop him because at only 1.93 meters tall, he was essentially the same as Tony Allen—poor ball handling, not enough height, an undistinguished player.
