Overview:

If the NBA playoffs are any indication, times are changing. Celtics fans felt like they lost because Avery Bradley was out. Grizzlies fans felt like Tony Allen was not operating at 100 percent for their series. Thabo Sefolosha was arguably the sole reason the Thunder – Spurs series turned around, once he was focused on stopping Tony Parker. And Shane Battier had quite a finals performance. What do all of these men have in common? They are spectacular defenders who don’t play inside. The wave of great, on-ball, defending guards and small forwards is upon us. Aaron Craft can be drafted on a Thursday and be ready to defend NBA guards by Saturday. Throw in his passing skills, ball handling ability and his worst case scenario as a pro is a lifelong backup guard. There seems to be no logical way Craft does not stick in the NBA.



Final Projection:

With a lack of a great shooting touch and perhaps a lack of upside as well, Craft will not be drafted too high. That is how the NBA draft works. Teams target upside over production. Nevertheless, Craft will be a monster contributor to whichever team takes him. His across-the-board numbers in college, along with his court smarts and tenacious defense make Craft one of the lowest risk draftees in the nation as far as bust potential.

Craft hovered his foot. Head of officials said it shouldnt have counted

He won't be able to handcheck in the league, thus he'll be a foul magnet. He isn't a particularly good shooter or distributor either. So I guess the upside is he's a third point guard on a team? Maybe a backup if he improves his shooting drastically.

I really despise Craft everything about Ohio State

they can claim Paulus. Always hated that ***** even while at Duke. Craft just has that Paulus feel, guess that's why I dislike him so much

God you're 100% spot on... I HATED Paulus, and still do

Not sure why people are discussing whether Craft was on the line or not. It's irrelevant. Offensive player had already left his feet and was airborne before Craft set his feet. That's a blocking foul no matter what.

Just a horrible call.

He always gets the benefit of the doubt on those plays. ALWAYS.

Zeller didn't even move. You have to be smarter than that when you going to the hoop one on one like that.

Dat' kid, Wyatt is fo' rill'.

 

[ballinsam23]

I'd love to have Craft as my back up PG if I'm an NBA team.

Good defenders get away with a lot of hand checks in the NBA, and who doesnt like a drawn charge or 2?

His shooting can be improved though (that form is :x :x)

[h2]Marshall Henderson Celebrated at a Kansas City Bar Following the Rebels Win Over Wisconsin[/h2]
All, College Basketball, NCAA Tournament Stephen Douglas March 23rd. 2013, 1:40pm



Marshall Henderson shot 6-for-21 during the Ole Miss 57-46 win over Wisconsin Friday, but there’s no way the darling of the NCAA tournament was going to let a mediocre shooting performance slow his post-game roll. Henderson went out to celebrate with some brand-less beverages at McFadden’s, a local Kansas City bar. During halftime of the Michigan – VCU game, Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy and Henderson were interviewed by the CBS studio crew. Kennedy joked about how he was able to Henderson out of bed this early. The interview was at noon local time.

Surprised he didn't knock down that 30 foot heat check. He's feeling it.
