Aaron Craft Summer League

[Deleted]

AC played for GS tonight

23 minutes
2-3 from the field and 4-6 from the line
8 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist

Not too shabby - think he needs to turn it up a notch on the assists side. He had 2 TOs to the 1 assist - not going to cut it.

I read somewhere he was getting love from the last game from the announcers. Assist are probably tough in the summer league, probably a lot of solo ball and no plays call.


Here is hoping he finds a way to make a shot on the NBA roster.

Would love to see him stick somehow

Aaron Craft has looked terrific in summer league. Maybe he really will surprise us all.

I was actually going to come on here to update you guys.

Terrific is a definite overstatement but I think he has looked good. He seems to have lost a lot of the hitch in his jumper. I have seen them come back, so it's something he has to continue working in.

You can still see some hesitation in his offensively. Early on he passed on a wide open shot with the clock winding down. Later on though, he knocked down the same shot twice. It's clear these guys know he has the reputation of being a poor shooter because they are giving him ample space. He is making the most of it.

His defense is as strong as ever but the size difference between him and other PG's is evident. They just kind of muscle around him. He is still pesky though and makes them think twice. Seems like he needs to learn to tone it down a bit with the in your face stuff and trust the guys behind him, using his quick hands to make plays instead.

Thanks tpe for the update.


Do you think he can make a roster spot some where?

I love Craft, I really do, but this kid will NEVER lead an NBA team.

heart-guts-passion, but the jump-shot of a 4th grader.

if he had ANY semblance of a shot, last yrs title would've been ours!

Favorite buckeye bb player ever but I just can't see him making it in the league.

With Amir at center and Q being Q we never had a chance at the title.

if he were a threat from the outside, it would've opened those dudes up.

but yeah, definitely an All-Time BUCKEYE!!

At this point, I doubt he makes a roster. His defense is the best thing about him but he needs to adjust how he plays it. He could be very disruptive against most college guards but there pros are a lot quicker and stronger.

I think if he works hard for a year or two, he may find a spot somewhere.

Kerr has nothing but good things to say about Craft. Here's hoping!
