After a stint in Hungary, Aaron Craft is back with the NBA D-League time with which he won the 2015 D-League championship and Defensive Player of the Year.
The Santa Cruz Warriors, minor league affiliates of the reigning NBA champion Golden State Warriors, announced the return of their former point guard on Thursday night:

Craft reportedly replaces new Memphis Grizzlies signee Elliott Williams. Craft's development on the offensive end will obviously dictate if he earns a look in the big show.
Craft is expected to play in the Warriors Friday night game against the Iowa Energy at 10:30 ET on NBA TV.
