Still no Royal Ivey.

Good signing.

Was listening to Windhorst and Bontemps. They both felt this was a big loss for Denver, given how important Craig was defensively with certain matchups.

Think I rather play Craig than Pat, offensively they are a wash, but Craig is the better defender and bigger size to guard the forwards. Pat is undersize for a SF. Too bad Pat will be taking PT away from the other bench players due to his larger contract.

Locked on Bucks also had a nice pod discussing with a Nuggets reporter about him

Unless Giannis demanded they keep his lifting buddy I have no idea why they kept Pat with anything beyond a minimum contract.

They aren’t a wash offensively but I’d probably rather play Craig too unless Pat’s shooting gets closer to Notre Dame levels. Even then there will certainly be situations where you want Craig out there instead of Pat.

I really think Craig could end up starting.

I probably would. Unless I needed his D that bad on the bench. Start him to lock down their best scorer right off the bat.

Our starting line up has plenty of defense, guessing we want to surround Craig with shooters and let him take the toughest assignments with the bench.

Just rewatching the highlight, this guy looks great for what we need and looks like a professional volleyball player out there.

Mixed feelings on Craig. Hard to get a feel for someone defensively based on their defensive highlights. Its just a bunch of recovery blocks. If hes always getting beat like that its not good. Offensively he looks pretty bad. Not writing him off i just didnt watch much nuggets ball.

Dont know how to feel, would be how i would summarize this.

Seems like a slightly bigger Deandre Liggins that can hit more open 3's. I'll take it.

Deandre Liggins was a guy who only seemed like a good defender because he hustled and over-extended himself on every play. Craig is actually a really good defender.
