"I just want to be a weapon," Crowder said Wednesday, July 31, 2019. "Somebody that's reliable, somebody that's consistent. I just want to gain that trust with him that when he wants to go my way that he has that trust and that confidence that I'm going to make the play." (AP Photo/Seth Wenig, file)
