As both a junior and a senior he was DuPage Valley Conference player of the year. Because of his father's multi-decade career as an NBA referee, Crawford has been exposed to basketball at a high level from an early age. He shot around with LeBron James just before he went pro and also counts Reggie Miller among his early exposures to the game.[2] As a high school basketball player he was rated as the 40th and 72nd best shooting guard in the national class of 2009 by Scout.com and ESPN.com, respectively.[3][4] He was also an A+ student in high school.[2]
