A few points. In the big picture maybe, but why not do both. I would imagine that Craft would take pride in a NBA career later in life, even if brief. It is a very small fraternity. As far as his potential, I for one would not underestimate what kind of player he could ultimately be. AC only needs to improve his jumper to drastically improve his offensive game. I am many times amazed at how often he gets to the hole when he doesn't have either a break-down handle or the shot that a defender has to honor. John Stockton had a hof career making the correct decision with the pick and roll for about 15 years. He was able to hit the shot when it was given him, and make a lot of times a simple pass to Malone for an assist. A believe AC is a lot better athlete than Stockton and twice the defender. I am not at all trying to say AC is a potential HOFer, but only demonstrating that an NBA point guard needn't be an above the rim player to be successful. I am a NBA fan and know that it will only take the one correct team for Craft to be drafted. Another point to consider with Craft is that he lost much of his offseason last year to the bone chip-spur surgery. Hopefully he goes into this offseason healthy and can shoot the couple of thousand shots a day in the offseason to cement in his proper mechanics through repetition. AC has a nice touch. He just needs to be able to replicate his own successful form game after game. Good news for us Buckeye fans is that he will have another year in Columbus to improve. If he can get to a point where defenders have to honor his shot, I think we will have a whole different conversation about his pro potential.
