Crowder is entering his 11th NBA season, and it’s hard to play in this game for that long. He must have something that GMs are looking for. One thing Crowder can brag about is that he has only missed the postseason once in his career. Not too many players can say that.

Crowder is absolutely a difference maker in a locker room. His experiences with different teams and taste of success is what coaches and front offices want on their roster. The 32-year-old forward has been an important piece to the Phoenix Suns as he helped them reach the 2021 NBA Finals.

The Knicks can benefit from having Crowder on their roster simply because of his experience. He has been to a Conference Finals and an NBA Finals, multiple times at that! He’s the kind of player that can put you over the top. As he has proved on other teams that he has been on, if you have Jae Crowder on your roster, you’re a contender.
