As I recall Crews had a fair amount of forced shots last year (as did Grill).

To his credit Crews scored a LOT on those forced shots.

Increased volume for Crews will mean that (a) he will look amazing at times when the shots fall and (b) he will look terrible at times when they don't.

I'm afraid that increased volume for Crews will mean increased defensive attention, which will either lead to turnovers or (hopefully) increased open shots for others.

While he did have a lot of forced shots last year he also was the beneficiary of the defensive attention Grill got.

A difference is that Crews is a fair amount taller, which should make him difficult to defend on the perimeter, especially if he plays with Pierce who can also shoot from the outside with size.

Please explain why this message is being reported.
