Jae Crowder is a defensive specialist. What makes him even more special is his contract, very team friendly. But, having watched him play last 2 seasons, he takes a lot of terrible shots. If he can fix that mental issue he will fit in great with the cavs and would be a great asset. Celtics were never going to win with Thomas, he can't defend anyone. That was displayed last season in conference finals as Irving destroyed him.

I'm real excited to see Irving work with Brad Stevens. Could be a special year for him.

Crowder won't be shooting a lot with a team like the cavs. He'll probably hear a lot from the more potent scorers on this time if he does that. There are probably 5 or 6 guys that are a better scorer than him so he'll likely focus on what he's good at which is playing defense

But he could be a potential options to shoot in case the situation arises. I'm sure he will need adjustment to fit in the system of Tyron and shooting outside will be less of a priority now as compare when we has with the Celtics. But if there are night when he's on fire, I'm sure coach Tyron wouldn't mind Joe Crowder shooting 3's. But he's priority will be on more a defense, would agree. And he is very athletic as well and can play 2 positions. I hope coach Tyron will find him a good place in the Cav's lineup. He's young a lot of improvements can be made and if you can cope with the system, he will soon be a star on his own.

That's why I'm saying he needs to fix his mental issues, as he does not recognize he's not an offensive player. So instead of passing the ball to a better shooter he opts to shoot himself.

Jae Crowder is not bad at shooting in fact last season was his most improved season in terms of both FG % and 3PT % definitely he will be a good scoring option in the Cleveland Cavalier's 2nd unit as he also has a 40% 3pt percentage. But enough with the talk on the individuals personally this team has re-shaped a lot with the departure of Kyrie Irving a lot of things will change because a new point guard will control the point and that is Isaiah Thomas, one good thing about here is Wade knows Lebron James.

None the less, if you have a team like the cavs who has a couple of mvps and finals mvp, people should know what their roles would be. It isn't like in boston where aside from isaiah, he'd be one of the primary options. Hell, isaiah won't even be in the top three options for their current team

I just found out today that there has been one named Isaiah Thomas long before the Isaiah Thomas of Cleveland now appeared. He was one of the best Detroit Pistons had. Google it if you guys are interested.
