This Aaron Craft stuff HAS to stop. It's embarassing.

#6 is too high, but I would certainly put him in the top 25 or so. He's a tremendous Mateen Cleaves-esque college point guard.

Aaron Craft's soph season: 8.8 pts, 4.6 ast
Mateen Cleaves soph season: 16.1 pts, 7.2 ast

I just don't see it. I wouldn't put him in the top 50.

Best perimeter defender in the nation; he's a leader; tough as nails; high basketball IQ.

Easily in the top 25.

People just love to hate him, if he played for us everyone would love him.

"he's a leader; tough as nails; high basketball IQ."

These are fine cliches.

He's definitely a high level D1 PG. Not debating that.

But when you start getting into a debate about top 50 players and the conversation goes to the "he's a leader" card...usually that's because the stats simply just don't add up. He'll see how he does this season with a drastically different team. Maybe he can shut me up.

Yes I wonder where Craft would rank if he didn;t play with Sullinger last year.

I wonder where Craft would rank if college basketball officials called hand-checking like they do at every other level of the game.
