Really liked the guy at Ohio, and felt he was very underrated. He was the D-League's DPOY, so it has to be mean something.

I would love him as a 3rd string or back up behind Smart/IT as PG.

It's based on your perspective, quite simply

Interested?   Not I, and I am from Ohio.

On a team with multiple offensive liabilities, Craft makes them look like offensive savants.  While he's good at creating pressure defensively, he succumbs to pressure just as quickly with the ball.  He hit a couple of big shots in college, which cloud people's memory sometimes, but on the whole he was a liability with the ball in college, and that's not likely to improve in the pros.

He can show up to summer league or training camp for the C's, but that should be the extent of it.  He's not better than Pressey (and I'm not a Pressey fan).  He's not appreciably cheaper either.  Vs the tax and hard cap, they'd count the same.

If the NBA had expanded rosters for "practice squad" players, sure.

Since the NBA doesn't, then no. Our 15 roster spots should be spent on NBA caliber players.

Only to see him get leveled by a screen. He is a really irritating player and the officials let him get away with murder in college.

Loved his game at Ohio St, but he was close to a 4.0 pre med....should concentrate on that

Aaron Craft is going to torture what ever gym is closest to his hospital.

Big Buckeye fan, but there is a reason he is in the DLeague.
