Zion Williamson nuthuggers aren’t going to like hearing it, but Torrey Craig COMPLETELY and BRUTALLY outplayed Mr. No Knees last night. Craig, who I think played Div II college basketball at some random school that nobody’s ever heard of, and who was never even close to being anointed as the next LeBron James, scored the exact same amount of points as the so-called “Chosen One 2.0” whose highlight videos are among the most sought-after videos on the entire internetubes.
The difference in hype levels between these two players is staggering. My Zion Williams highlight video from this game has nearly 20k views already, and the comment section has been overrun by the most filthy assemblage of casual NBA basic-bitches I’ve ever seen. Meanwhile, I think this Torrey Craig video is sitting at negative views, and the comment section is pristine. No casuals anywhere to be found. Which is how it should be.
Maybe this short run of strongish play from Craig will get him permanently back into the lineup even after Millsap returns from whatever old-man malady is currently afflicting him. Remember, Craig was a STARTER on a PLAYOFF TEAM which made a DEEP RUN. Starters on playoff teams don’t just suddenly become unplayable because they’re one year older. Everybody’s clamoring for Michael Porter Jr. to be freed, but what about Torrey Craig who is as good as if not better than Zion Williamson? #freetorreycraig #torreycraigiswelsh
