Kam Craft is one of only two players remaining on Georgia Tech’s roster. The other is a center who averaged < 2 points per game and finished the season 0-8 from the line.

I browsed the GT message boards and apparently Kraft signed a 2 year NIL deal, so their new coach is essentially stuck with him. And he’ll probably get a lot more run this year since they are otherwise building a roster from scratch.

Smart move by Kraft to ink the 2-year deal. Had he not, he’d be out in the portal and most likely at a decreased value.

I really hope Kam ended up getting paid royally. He was a big part of getting the train over the hill but never had the chance to enjoy the wild ride this season.

That kid is an amazing player. I saw him play in person against PC in OT in January. He is a freshman from Indiana.

What’s crazy is that he shot the ball really poorly in the latter part of the season. 18/75 from 3 (24%) in his last 11 games. I was waiting for him to get on a heater - but UConn kept advancing.

He’s got a nice all around game - and is pretty athletic too.

But yikes - that’s a lot of cash.

He is also really good defensive player and scrappy.

The shot in the elite 8 is probably worth a mil on its own…

Only shot 33.5% from 3. Not good enough for Miami. :slightly_smiling_face:

Damn.

Well at least we don’t have to face him again until the NCAA tournament!

And that coach is spot on, but don’t blame the players. They are just taking advantage of what the system allows.

They can ask.

Now which fool coaches are paying?

This exact same thing is happening in the women’s game. Players lucky to be on scholarship demanding to be paid.
