    Craft/Nash is a bad comparison. The kid is damn special though. No one, and I mean no one, can force turnovers and wreak havoc the way this kid can.

    NOPE......not a chance.

    Remember Nash's offensive game was very very good in his prime. You don't win 2 NBA MVP's without having a very versatile offensive game.

    I watch very little Cbb (I mean next to none)

    The little I've seen (2 halves) I like that whiteboy on Villanova. He can shoot.

    I'm a huge Buckeyes fan and can agree that he will not even come close to Steve Nash's level offensively. I can't think of anyone who he is comparable to, but he is one of the best on-ball defenders for a guard that I have ever seen. The only downside to him is his shooting range and consistency.

    Defensively he reminds me of Avery Bradley

    Nothing like Nash, IMO.

    I think the next Steve Nash will be black.

    Craft's time in the league will 100% depend on if his defense translates. His offensive skill set is a dime a dozen. Slightly headier than most though.

    As a side note, for you B1G fans out there, the comparison I most often hear with Craft is Eric Snow of MSU.

    Steve Nash is a fukking top 5 all time PG
    Aaron Craft is a Big 10 college prospect.
    I do like his assist to turnover ratio though at Ohio State

    I always have this argument becuase I live in PHX..

    1. Magic
    1a. Stockton
    1b. O
    2. Isiah Thomas
    3. Nash
    4. Kidd
    5. The Glove

    Now, realize this list is missing Cousey and Frazier, but I have never seen them play. Most likely they'd be right around Nash. However, I do have enough sense to put The Big O at 1.

    So, realistically, Nash is ~top 5 all time, for sure top 10.

    ^
    I was pretty much in diapers when Walt Frazier played, I think he retired in 1980.
    I do know he was very flashy.

    Cousy I am told is an all time great.

    I would put Nash ahead of Kidd on the list, but Stockton was better than the two.

    Exactly. If Craft comes within 100 names of Nash on the all-time PG list, he will have overachieved greatly.

    CP3 is amazing.
    I looked at this numbers awhile ago, he's much better than people give him credit for.

    As of right now Craft is better than Nash.

    Nash is old and out of shape.
