Drew Crawford had to close things down quickly. The shot clock was winding down and a defensive possession was at risk as the ball swung to the perimeter.
Crawford was never known for his defense at Northwestern. That was the big detraction from his game that could hold him back from a potential NBA career. He had to prove himself, especially during his senior year with Chris Collins putting an added emphasis on defense.
The process to become defender was a long one. It took him to the NBA outpost in Erie, Pa. If the first week of Summer League is any indication though, defense has become the priority for him.
