an NHL All-Star if there had been a 2014 game (it was canceled due to the Olympics). 4. Jamal Crawford, SG, Los Angeles Clippers (NBA) The one-year Wolverine is no spring chicken, now entering his 15th NBA season, but he continues to perform at a high level. He was extremely productive last year, aver- aging 18.6 points in 30 minutes per game on his way to his second Sixth Man of the Year award in four sea- sons. He also averaged 15.5 points in 24 minutes per game in the 2014 Western Conference playoffs. Crawford has averaged 15.5 points in 14 NBA seasons, having played with Chicago, New York, Golden State, Atlanta, Portland and the Clip- pers. He's seeking an extension with whoever he plays with next year, and he'll likely get it, even if it's in a sign and trade by the Clippers. He came off the bench in 45 of the 69 games he played in, helping the Clippers to a 57-25 record — the best regular-sea- son mark in team history. The Clip- pers were 31-14 in games in which he came off the bench. He also set a franchise record for three-pointers in a season with 161. "He's one of the great sixth men of all time," Clippers head coach Doc Rivers said recently. 5. Trey Burke, PG, Utah Jazz (NBA) Burke, a rookie in 2013-14, broke his finger in a preseason game be- fore the season started and didn't play until November, but he quickly made up for lost time. He started in his third career game and scored 20 points for the first time Nov. 30 against the Phoenix Suns, follow- ing up with then-career highs of 21 points and six assists in a Dec. 2 win over Houston, the Jazz's first back- to-back wins of the year. He notched his first career double- double Dec. 13 with 10 points and 10 assists against the Denver Nuggets. Burke eclipsed 30 points twice during the year and became the first rookie to post at least a 30-point, seven-rebound and eight-assist game since the L.A. Clippers' Blake Griffin Jamal Crawford of the Los Angeles Clippers averaged 18.6 points in 30 minutes per game in 2013-14, en route to winning his second Sixth Man of the Year award in the last four seasons.
