If Cameron Johnson was old enough to ride the Mayflower before his rookie season in the NBA, imagine how old Torrey Craig felt.
New Suns wing Torrey Craig took a circuitous route to the NBA from South Carolina Upstate via Australia and New Zealand before finally landing with the Denver Nuggets for his rookie season at the old age of 27. Kinda sounds a little or a lot like former Sun P.J. Tucker, right?
That was 2017. Just under four years later, he’s still winning the fight for his NBA life and now hopes he’s found a home with the streaking Suns. Craig was a roster casualty in Milwaukee ahead of the trade deadline, and the Suns picked him up for some cash considerations.
