    Hawks rookie Jordan Crawford has performed well this preseason, but coach Larry Drew still plans to use Jeff Teague heavily.

    Jamal Crawford and Teague have missed time this month with injuries.

    "I've made no bones about it as far as how I see Jeff," Drew said. "My expectations for him was to come in and push Mike for the starting role. Jeff has had a good camp and then unfortunately he had the ankle injury.

    "I look at Jordan as who he is. He is not a point. He has the ability to play some point, but he doesn't have those natural point-guard instincts. He’s a good passer. That being said, I just view him more as a [shooting guard] than a [point guard]."
