Torrey Craig- C+

Craig had trouble getting his shot to go, but he made up for it in other areas. He was able to pull down an effective five rebounds and even came away with a steal and a block.

Despite the abysmal 22.2% from the field which resulted in only eight points, Craig was still a versatile option for the Denver Nuggets to go with in Gary Harris’ absence who is nursing a hamstring injury.

The good thing is that the Nuggets do not rely on Craig to score a hefty amount of points and look for him to provide production in mainly the defensive aspect of the game.

He didn’t have the most stellar game, but he also did not have the worst game either as he was still more effective than Will Barton.
