Article
3 Mins read
Crawford is in his first season with Andorra and averaging 9.6 points on 41.0% three-point shooting and 2.6 rebounds in 19 EuroCup games as a part-time starter. Other than being a reliable three-point shooter, Crawford is a physical player who can attack the rim effectively and help on the boards; he grabbed 9 rebounds in the eighthfinals showdown against Buducnost VOLI Podgorica. His energy, versatility and deep shooting range should be important in one of the most critical matchups in this game.
Bitim is enjoying a breakthrough season with Bursaspor, averaging 12.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 17 games. He has been even better in the playoffs, getting his first-ever double-double - 20 points and 10 rebounds - in the eighthfinals against Partizan NIS Belgrade, and contributing 14 points and 6 rebounds against Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana in the quarters. A very versatile player, Bitim offers high intensity at both ends due to his quickness, character and off-the-charts self-confidence.
