Whenever a player changes teams, there’s usually some sort of adjustment period.
But that really hasn’t been the case for Jae Crowder.
Since joining the HEAT rotation on Feb. 9, Crowder has been invaluable on both ends of the floor thanks to his defensive versatility and ability to shoot it from deep. In turn, the 29-year-old vet has earned the trust of Coach Erik Spoelstra rather quickly.
After practice on Tuesday, Crowder sat down with HEAT.com to discuss his upbringing, his thoughts on the organization and much more.
Note: some of this interview has been edited for brevity and clarity.
