Free agent shooting guard Jordan Crawford could have another shot at the NBA.
Crawford, who spent the previous season with the Sichaun Blue Whales of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA), is reportedly set to work out in front of NBA scouts at UCLA, per Ben Stinar of Amico Hoops. The 30-year-old guard averaged 36.5 points per game in the past year in the CBA.

Crawford was drafted 27th overall by the Brooklyn Nets (then New Jersey Nets) in the 2010 NBA Draft. However, his draft rights were later traded to the Atlanta Hawks, where he spent the first one and half year of his career.
Overall, he has played six seasons in the NBA from 2010 to 2018 with five different teams, namely the Hawks, Washington Wizards, Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors and New Orleans Pelicans.
Crawford was a valuable scorer during his NBA tenure, averaging 12.2 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 281 games playes. His best all-around scoring campaign came as a member of the Wizards in 2011-12 when he logged 14.7 points per game, 2.6 boards and 3.0 assists while shooting 40.0 percent from the field.
NBA franchises are always looking to add shooting, depth and shot-creation in the backcourt, and Jordan Crawford could be the boost that some team are looking for.
