Ohio State's Aaron Craft, LaQuinton Ross invited to 2014 NBA Draft combine

Though many expected Aaron Craft, who currently is projected by most major analysts to go undrafted, to be left out of the NBA's annual Chicago NBA Draft combine, Craft will in fact get to prove his merits against some of the country's best trying to make their way to the professional ranks. He'll be joined by former teammate LaQuinton Ross, who'll have plenty to prove in his own right.

Amongst those Craft will potentially get to go against at the point guard position include national champion Shabazz Napier, Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart, Syracuse's Tyler Ennis and others. Of course some of the underclassmen may ultimately decline their invitations or only participate in parts of the event.

Craft's best assets at the next level will echo those from his play at the college ranks: his pristine defense, and his palatable mix of strength and quickness. Though he'll be facing an uphill battle to stick at the professional ranks, if Matthew Dellavedova can crack the Cavs' rotation, it's certainly not impossible.
