Aaron Craft Sets Summer League Record

[Deleted]

Craft set a Golden State Warriors summer league record for most combined assists in the summer league at 27.

I recognize he will never be an elite guard, but dang it, really wish he could get some playing time in an NBA game.

Unfortunately I think he's just too small without the offensive skill set to make up for it.

I think he is JUST good enough for no one to ever give him a shot, and that is disappointing.

I think that he is right on the cusp of being an NBA quality player, but just barely not good enough to get a serious look.

That sucks because I do think he could help a team.

Yep, the Spurs hired a female assistant coach, and she ran their summer league team.

They won the championship.

Good for her and the team.

If Craft could just become a treat behind the arc, I think he does enough otherwise that he could make it on a team. We all saw what Delluvadova, or what ever his name is did for the Cavs defensively without providing much offensively. Craft can at least provide some offense with his passing alone.

Ok, gotcha. I read it wrong. He does some things well, but you're right, just not enough.

Difference is that Delladova is a good bit bigger, so he offers a bit more on the defensive end. He's also a bit better on the offensive end. Being able to pass doesn't matter much if you have zero to offer offensively because they will just sag off of you.

It's not that Craft can't defend; we know he can defend very well. The problem is that defense against point guards in the NBA is often played down low as much as up top. That and being able I fight through screens. Craft's lack of size is a big detriment in those two areas.

I think he was at the top of the league in steals as well
