Thud. That’s the sound of Craig Brackins' NBA stock officially hitting rock bottom. The box score itself doesn’t look terrible—14 points and 7 rebounds—but the shots Brackins was chucking up against Oklahoma State Wednesday night brought flashbacks of my 8-year olds Parks and Rec games. Brackins was 3-17 shooting, looking nothing like the NBA prospect he’s tabbed to be. He consistently tries to do too much on his own, and right now, he’s a detriment to both himself and the team. The way Brackins is playing, it looks like he’ll be back for a fourth year. Only question is—Do we want him?
(I’ll answer that at the end of the season)
