Do you already have the structure of the native form? If so, you can
look at the putative binding region of your ligand, and check whereas
it is involved in crystal packing or not. In any case, you'll have to
shoot them and look at the density for confirmation; but just to have
an idea of what "worth can be expected".

Kind regards.
