craft will have a tough test this saturday. mccamey may present the hardest challenge that craft will face this year. no conference point guard tries to break down his defender like mccamey does. i will be surprised if craft finishes with fewer than four fouls. i hope aaron keeps his hands a bit "quiet" until the second half, provided that he's not already in foul trouble. the team won't afford his cheap fouls.

craft held mccamey to 5 points on 2/11 shooting. aaron also forced mccamey into 4 turnovers (to cheese's 1).

That wouldn't have been the conclusion of an alien visitor seeing him today for the first time. Rough game for Dave balanced by an otherworldly defensive performance by Craft.

yeah, i can count on more than one hand how many times lighty has lost his man on defense this year, which is very surprising. nonetheless, i love lighty as a defender and would go into battle with him. that being stated, craft would likely lead the charge.

LOL..I was just about to write that before I saw your post. :biggrin:

But seriously, what an absolutely pleasant surprise of the class. This kid just gets basketball. He's a competitor, a hustler, a leader. Kid just does whatever needs to be done...and he's only a freshman.

And how about those two big free throws he knocked down toward the end? I haven't felt this good about a freshman PG since Mike Conley. Not saying that Craft will be that good, but there's no doubt that he's the answer for this team.

I'm not sure people understand that when I call him a combo guard, that's the same as saying he's a player that can play PG and the 2. I never said he couldn't play the point. He has been a good/great role player at the PG position this year. Defense has been his most important contribution to this team.
