Honestly, he'd have had a better chance at the NBA (even if it was 1% over .05%) if he'd left school early to go pro. NBA drafting has turned into a potential thing, with the vast majority of the high picks being college underclassmen who are highly regarded and foreign players who've used their leagues as a substitute for college. Earlier in his college career, Craft was known as a lockdown defender who had holes in his offense game. Now, as a senior, Craft is still known as a lockdown defender, but those holes are still there, haven't been fixed and, now that he's been in more of a "be the man" role as opposed to one of the supporting cast to guys like Sully and Thomas, they've been more noticeable. Which, when added to him being a four-year college guy (in other words, not having the same growth potential that you'd get from the underclassman projects), is basically a kiss of death as far as the NBA is concerned.
If he wants, he definitely can play overseas. If not, he has med school; so his prospects are much better than the average college guy. But I don't see the NBA being one of them.
