Aaron certainly wasn't his best last night. Struggled a little in his 1st B10 game so he definitely doesn't deserve his scholarship anymore right?!


LOL.. Was off a bit yesterday. Big Ten nerves, but his team won easily.

Do you remember a recent point from OSU who didnt make it to the NBA???? Aaron is and will be at best equal to him. Therefore, my opinion is that he will have a very good career at OSU and maybe play overseas if he wants it.

He is a different player than Butler, besides both being 6' tall and played point, he is a different guard when it is all said and done. IMO

wallbash.gif I agree with you White Rabbit. Just let it go, he is playing, he is doing well end of story. Next chapter will not even be thought of til he is a senior. We wouldn't be guessing he would play for OSU when is was a freshman at LB. Let's watch him grow and mature for another 3 years, before we start making NBA judgement. We all agree he is not a 1 and done, and this will get old debating the NBA thing for 4 years.

He is a freshman, playing for the Ohio State Buckeyes. The #2 team in the Nation!!!!

There are a bunch of good players on the OSU bench that would love to be getting his minutes.

Craft is not asked to score on this years team with the offensive weapons they have. He is asked to distribute the ball and play solid defense; exactly what he is doing. His scoring average will continue to increase every year as required. He has not forgotten how to put the ball in the hole; he could score ten plus points a game right now if needed!

He is averaging 5 ppg now.
So you are saying he could ave 15 ppg?

WB, Diebs, Diesel and Lighty aren't even averaging 15 ppg.

"he could score ten plus points a game right now if needed!"

Vic,

Pretty sure he means if it was asked of him he could double his current output to 10+ points per game..............with the "PLUS" being 10.4 a game, for example. Maybe I shouldn't assume, because we all know what happens when we do that, bag.gif but that's how I read the above comment.

Gotcha.
After I re-read it I understand where he is coming from.
I don't think Matta has any need for him to score, simply bring the ball up, set the O, distribute and play D.

I've watched a couple games and I think he has been called for more reach in fouls this year at OSU than his previous 4 years at LB.

This may be true, but I would think the kids playing at Florida, Indiana and Minnesota are a bit quicker then the ones at Elmwood, Wapak and Van Buren. smile.gif

Saw a boilermaker make a comment on yahoo about the buckeyes he talked so much $H** about us it wasn't funny I love it when your team does good and all the haters come out. I think when the bucks are firing on all cylinders there is not anyone that can stop them. They are fun to watch. When Purdue comes to Ohio they better bring there A game because I guarantee we will have ours. Craft is the real deal. Great skills and very calm with the ball.

Diebler?
Seriously? Dude can't ball man, come on.

He has NO GAME. Won't even get invited to a tryout for an NBDL team.
