==Early life==
By sixth grade Crawford had given up all other sports to focus on basketball. He was a starter in high school as a sophomore. 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.<ref name=Dc>{{cite web|url=http://basketball.dailyherald.com/story/?id=276915|title=DuPage captain: Naperville Central's Crawford a player worth watching|accessdate=2012-02-23|date=2009-03-05|work=[[Daily Herald (Arlington Heights)|Daily Herald]]|author=Schmit, Kevin}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://northwestern.scout.com/a.z?s=179&p=8&c=1&nid=3573656|title=Drew Crawford|accessdate=2012-02-23|publisher=[[Scout.com]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://espn.go.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/69480/drew-crawford|title=Drew Crawford|accessdate=2012-02-23|publisher=[[ESPN.com]]}}</ref> He was also an A+ student in high school.<ref name=Dc/>
