The offspring of one of the greatest ball handlers in NBA history could be attending his father's alma mater in the future.
JJ Crawford, the son of 20-year NBA vet Jamal Crawford, received an offer from Michigan on Wednesday.
"Blessed to receive my 12th division 1 offer from the University of Michigan and their coaching staff!" the younger Crawford wrote on X.
JJ, a freshman (class of 2029) at Rainier Beach (Seattle), has 12 Division I offers, including ones from Kansas, Missouri, USC, Oregon and Arizona State.
The 6-foot-4 combo guard, whose crafty handles are reminiscent of his father's, is currently teamed up with Tyran Stokes, the No. 1 player in the class of 2026.
Jamal played the 1999 season at Michigan before entering the 2000 NBA draft, where he was selected No. 8 by the Cleveland Cavaliers and traded to the Chicago Bulls in a draft-day deal.
In his time as a Wolverine under then-coach Brian Ellerbe, Jamal averaged 16.6 points, 4.5 assists and 2.8 rebounds.
JJ has played under his father in the Nike EYBL grassroots circuit for the Northwest Rotary Rebels.
