Torrey Craig in starting 5 for Denver

Wow.
At almost 28, and after 3+ years as a professional he has finally made NBA grade.
So that must mean that 3 years ago, straight out of college, he was also NBA grade and Fearne should have played him more.
Gees, how dumb are all those NBA teams that failed to draft him straight out of college??

Buford isn't a first year import he was playing in Italy last season. He's done very well though to go from playing in Italy's Div 2 league to playing summer league with the Celtics to being one of the best imports in the NBL this season.

I'm pretty high on him too Kingpodge wouldn't be surprised to see him in the NBA in a year or two.

Yeah fair enough about Weigh knowing the offence, but in late-game situations where man-on-man coverage was needed, it should've been Torrey.

Anyway, Buford is a tough one. He has a midrange game which is inefficient and his handle isn't good enough, like Craig's is now. Craig was a 100:1 shot coming out of college. He's a late bloomer. What are the odds that Brisbane have 2 in a row? Dunno. I reckon Buford is one of those guys who is destined to dominate international leagues throughout his career and never quite crack an NBA roster

No need to get defensive, was just asking the question. I've given props to both Fearne and Craig this season, even made a thread about it so clearly I appreciate. Fearne has grown as a coach since then. It's a valid point considering his defensive ability and the lack of court time he was given even in defence-specific plays.

But yeah, he's a marvel to develop so much so quickly, can't deny.

If he busted his ass, why didn't Fearney give him much of a licence to make mistakes and learn without being dragged?

I did start a Torrey Craig thread a little while back but obviously he wasn't cool enough to talk about until now

30mins, 14pts, 5-5 FGs, 3-3 on three-pointers in a 1 point loss to the Thunder.

I didn't watch the game, but that's a really solid statline. Good on him.

Yeah just saw that, happy for him. Although I can't help thinking he'll definitely be NBL clubs go-to opening line when soliciting new imports... "Say... have you heard of Torrey?"...
