Torrey Craig had the worst plus-minus rating in the game with a -10.
He only played nine minutes. He struggled mightily in this game, and was one of the reasons why the Nets jumped out to an 18-9 lead early in the first quarter, and his stat-line wasn’t great either.
Craig finished with three points on 1-5 shooting, a rebound and an assist. He also had two personal fouls.
To put it simply, the starting small-forward cannot be doing this. Don’t get me wrong, I actually like Torrey Craig, and I think he puts in a ton of hustle.
However, at this point, I’d rather have Malik Beasley or Juancho Hernangomez stepping in and starting at the three.
Grade: D
