SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — A familiar face returned to the Santa Cruz Warriors on Thursday as Aaron Craft made his way back to the reigning NBA D-League champions after serving a stint overseas.
Craft, 24, was a highly recognized player for the Ohio State Buckeyes before going undrafted in the 2014 NBA Draft. He was given an opportunity to play in the 2014 NBA Summer League, joining the Golden State Warriors in Las Vegas. He averaged 7.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists that summer in 22 minutes played per game.
That fall, the 6-foot-2 point guard would find himself signing a training camp deal with Golden State.
