My Take
What I respect about Jae Crowder is that almost nothing was handed to him. Lightly recruited out of Villa Rica High School in Georgia, he routed through junior college and Howard before earning Big East Player of the Year at Marquette in 2012. To me that path explains the player he became: a 6-foot-6, do-the-dirty-work forward who stuck in the league because he defended, hit corner threes, and never needed plays drawn for him. He's now turning out for the Vaqueros de Bayamón in Puerto Rico's BSN, which I read less as decline and more as a competitor who simply still wants to hoop.
Overview
Corey Jae Crowder ( JAY; born July 6, 1990) is an American professional basketball player for the Vaqueros de Bayamón of the Baloncesto Superior Nacional (BSN). Not being heavily recruited out of high school, Crowder committed to South Georgia Technical College and later Howard College, where he led the team to an NJCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship in his sophomore season.
