Professional career

After going undrafted in the 2014 NBA draft, Crawford joined the Houston Rockets for the 2014 NBA Summer League.[2] On September 28, 2014, he signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers.[3] However, he was later waived by the Cavaliers on October 19 after appearing in five preseason games.[4] On November 2, he was acquired by the Canton Charge of the NBA Development League as an affiliate player of the Cavaliers.[5] In his rookie season, Crawford helped the Charge record a franchise-best 31 wins. He went on to help his team win their first round playoff match-up against the Sioux Falls Skyforce 2–1, making it through to the semi-finals where they lost to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants 2–0.[6] In 54 games for the Charge in 2014–15, Crawford averaged 8.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.0 steals per game.[7]

On July 28, 2015, Crawford signed with SPO Rouen Basket of France for the 2015–16 LNB Pro A season.[8] On January 4, 2016, he was released by Rouen.[9] In 14 games for the club, he averaged 5.5 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game.[10]

On February 24, 2016, Crawford was reacquired by the Canton Charge.[11] He made his season debut that night in a 119–109 win over the Grand Rapids Drive, recording 11 points, two rebounds and nine assists in 26 minutes.[12]
