ANALYSIS: Craig had spent the first three years of his NBA career in Denver and is widely regarded as a prominent defensive specialist. But the 6-foot-7 forward has struggled offensively, and is not an adept floor-spacer or on-ball creator. Craig is a career 32 percent shooter from distance and has averaged 5.3 points per game across his three seasons.
