Corey Crowder

Kentucky Wesleyan produced the 6-foot-5 swingman, who played 58 NBA games between 1991 and 1995 for the Utah Jazz and San Antonio Spurs. The bulk of his career unfolded overseas, through Italy, Spain, France and Israel.

The family name stayed on NBA rosters long after: his son Jae Crowder became a longtime pro, most recently with the Sacramento Kings.

HOW HE CAME & WENTUndrafted out of Kentucky Wesleyan, he debuted for Utah on November 2, 1991 and played parts of two seasons in the league.

Why this player is hard to find
Fifty-one games for Utah and the father of Jae Crowder, who also played here. Only one card exists, an unsigned Italian-league draft issue.
Already in the archive — but unsigned 1991 Front Row Italian #68 Draft Pick Basketball Rookie Card RC. This card is on the shelf; the signature is the missing half. That is why Corey Crowder still counts as an open position.
Do you have anything signed by Corey Crowder?
A card, an index card, a photo, a program — anything authentic. I'm a collector building an autograph archive of every player in Utah Jazz history (319 of 370 so far). I cover postage both ways and answer every message.
