Much better shooter than Snow.

But would veteran Craft hockey style body check a rookie Dwayne Wade to put the rookie in his place? (actually he kinda seems like he would...)

Much better shooter than Snow.

Same ugly floor game, though. He's a backup at best in the NBA. Most likely a 3rd stringer.

Purdue had a guard like that a few years back (Chris Kramer). Guy was a defensive menace. I think he's somewhere in Germany right now.

[nhwbrooklyn]

Chris Kramer was a menace and fun to watch but his defense was a little different. He was tenacious but also quite strong so he was more versatile. Like a real real poor mans Artest or really more like other hustle defender guys who are pests. Craft on the other hand has Lindsey Hunter like, on the ball, skills, which you also rarely see, except at a much younger age than Lindsey Hunter had them. The footwork is incredible and the hands where he gets so many steals and/or tips the ball away and just shuts down driving lanes before they even happen.

If Craft could shoot he would be something special.

[Kstat]

Lindsey hunter was a scoring machine in college, though. Craft can't even break down big ten guards. I see no way he's going to exist in the nba with his floor game limited to making wide open shots.

[nhwbrooklyn]

I only compared a veteran NBA lindsay hunters defense to Craft's now. I'm not making the case that Craft is an NBA talent. I'm making the case he's a really interesting player and fun to watch. If he had a good shot he would be a considerable NBA prospect.

Eric Snow's FG% was never below 48% in college (52% career at spartie). Craft is shooting 39% this year. Maybe you just mean 3 pointers or FT's?

[froot loops]

He's probably talking jumpers, in college Snow rarely took them. Everything was at the rim with him.

These will be "Throwbacks" for the Penn State game. They're doing a re-dedication of Crisler so they are wearing jerseys similar to the '68 team. They also look a lot like the '98 team's jerseys.

I like these better than what they have on right now. The Maize is maize!


Obviously, Adidas can make good looking uniforms when asked. That means the cheesy ones are Brand-on's doing.
