North Meck has been a powerhouse of talent for several years and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. One player though that could really elevate his play and catch a lot more eyes this upcoming season is 2022 6’2 Jordan Crawford.
We got a big glimpse of what we could be in for at the Phenom Summer Finale, as Crawford poured in multiple 30+ point performances throughout the weekend. Crawford’s development in his overall game is quite noticeable, putting together everything his entire game and showing that he can operate from all levels of the floor.
When you first watched his game, it was the outside play and perimeter shooting that first captured your eyes. He can certainly be a deadly option from behind the arc and has only continued to showcase and grow confidence with his shot-making ability from three. At the Phenom Summer Finale, he went off for 20 made 3-pointers in three games, including one game knocking down 10 to help his team secure the win.
But now, Crawford is showing that he has a more complete game and can mix it up from multiple levels of the floor. Whether it is creating for himself and using his athleticism to finish around the rim or in transition, his pull-up game from mid-range, or being that knock-down shooter from deep, Crawford can give you a little bit of everything. He is a skilled guard that is creative and plays within the offense. He has also only grown in confidence in handling and initiating the offense, making more plays for his teammates to go with his offensive power.
Right now, Crawford holds an offer from Hofstra, USC Upstate, and UNCW but he has been hearing from Florida Atlantic, Marist, Charleston Southern, Mount Saint Mary’s, East Carolina, and Georgia State. But that list could grow if he produces like he did this past weekend in Rock Hill.
