Hey, where the hell is Aaron Craft?

[arniesarmy]

I'm watching the Ohio State-Marquette game, and Aaron Craft isn't on the floor for Ohio State. Did he do something to lose his lifetime pass?

He's at work. Playing for Golden State's Developmental League squad in Santa Cruz.

Damn. I had fun rooting against him for those eight years or whatever.

Guy was a stud in the summer league but needs time to develop his offensive game. He'll be in the NBA at some point. Technically he made an NBA roster... just not a regular season roster. Haha. Glad I didn't bet.

he had 4 years in college to develop his offensive game........

Guys like Patrick Beverely, Andre Igoudala, and Joakim Noah were limited offensively in college and turned out okay. I think there will always be a spot for excellent defenders who are also team leaders. Craft is a quality ball handler with good passing ability. Gotta think he'll be at least an important situational player in the NBA. We'll see.
