You're not going to believe this, but Aaron Craft is still wreaking havoc on the defensive end of the basketball floor.
The former Ohio State guard was named the 2015 Defensive Player of the Year for the NBA's Developmental League Friday, after averaging 2.5 steals in 50 games for the Santa Cruz Warriors.

Santa Cruz is the D-League affiliate of the Golden State Warriors, who currently own the NBA's best record at 64-15. Craft leads Santa Cruz in games played, minutes per game (36.1), steals and is second on the team in assists (6.2). He also averages 9.2 points per game. The Warriors won the West Division Championship and are in the first round of the playoffs and play the Oklahoma City Blue Friday at 10:30 p.m.
It's good to see not much has changed since Craft's days at Ohio State.
