2. Jamal Crawford

The NBA has never seen a more accomplished individual bench player. Winning a record three Sixth Man of the Year Awards, Jamal Crawford is the only second-unit player to win more than two of these awards. At 38-years of age, does he have enough left in the tank to be productive?

Crawford has made a career off of and-one moves. His street attitude to an otherwise professional game has taken him pretty far. It might go unnoticed, but Crawford has steadily been one of the greatest scorers of the last two decades.

In a span of 15 seasons, Crawford averaged 15.6 points per game on 41.1 percent shooting. He scored 10+ points per game for 16 straight seasons, making him only the 18th player in NBA history to achieve this feat.

Last season was a forgettable one for Crawford. Playing on one of the worst teams in the league, he didn’t have much reason to care. If he joins the Golden State Warriors, this would obviously change. He could do a lot to help the second unit in terms of scoring and should be on the Warriors radar.
