Sheridan Hoops Sixth Rankings: Crawford’s Big Thursday Keeps Him On Top

RANK	Player	RUNDOWN	RECENT
1		JAMAL CRAWFORD, G, LA CLIPPERS: The birth of his new baby girl kept him out for a game, Crawford has still been able to shoot the ball well this week. His 23-point performance on TNT against the Wolves is one of many reasons why he remains at the top spot.	1
2		JARRETT JACK, G, GOLDEN STATE: He shot well under 50 percent on the week, but his clutch 23-point, 5- rebound, 8-assist performance against Ricky Rubio and the Timberwolves in a 1-point victory puts him over the top, and in this case, over Kevin Martin.	3
3		KEVIN MARTIN, G, OKLAHOMA CITY: Martin didn’t necessarily have a bad week – his team has just been dominating by so much lately, his minutes have faded, and as a result, so have his stats. Still, averaging less than 23 mpg usually won’t win you this award.	2
4		J.J. REDICK, G, MILWAUKEE: The Bucks were likely a playoff team before they acquired J.J. Redick. With him, they’re essentially a lock. He’s put up over 15 ppg since his arrival, and they’ve gone 2-1 (only loss by 1 point to Atlanta) in the process.	5
5		RYAN ANDERSON, F, NEW ORLEANS: Anderson is slowly falling on this list for a couple reasons. The first one isn’t necessarily his fault: his team is losing. The second is that his numbers keep aren’t quite on par with the top 3 lately. That combo won’t get you the award.	4

DROPOUTS: NONE

FIVE TO WATCH: Ray Allen, G, Miami; Manu Ginobili, G, San Antonio; Gordon Hayward, F, Utah; Carl Landry, F, Golden State; J.R. Smith, G, New York.
