Last year all of the NCAA hype was around Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker and Joel Embiid, and the rookie trio are tipped to fight it out for the NBA Rookie of the Year, but undrafted point guard, Aaron Craft, is looking to find a team and make an impact in his rookie season. Can he top the big name rookies, or will finding a team be hard enough? The former Ohio State University star will train with the Golden State Warriors, but can he impress, and force his way on to their roster?

The one-time OSU legend has a point to prove, making him a dangerous player, almost the wounded animal of the NBA. He had a brilliant Summer League for the Warriors, and now he has a chance to get a one-year contract if he can impress at training camp.

"It's been crazy. It's a lot of ups and downs," Craft said. "The summer was very long, lots of travel. Really not knowing what's going to happen, and I'm still not really sure what exactly, where we'll be going, but this is a great opportunity. It's been great to be out here this last month, and I'm just really looking forward to getting into camp and seeing where we can go from here."

In other words, if Craft carries his form for a few more weeks, he will have an NBA rookie season alongside his drafted NCAA rivals. Then the hard work begins and he can attempt to prove he belongs with his one-time rivals.

Will Craft be a success in the NBA, or will he fall short? Can the outside win the 2014/15 ROTY award?
