Every team in the modern NBA could use more three-and-D wings. Yes, even one featuring a pair of perennial All-Stars at the position like the Celtics have with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
Torrey Craig, to be clear, is more “D” than “three,” but he can be good enough with the latter to properly function within that role.
Since the start of 2022-23, he has converted a strong 39.4 percent of his long-range looks. Now, the volume isn’t great (3.1 attempts per outing), but that accuracy warrants enough defensive attention to help widen attack lanes for the players around him. And if Craig is left alone, he’s obviously capable of punishing teams for doing so.
Should the Bulls ever veer into their overdue rebuild, Craig, who turns 34 in December, would be an obvious trade candidate—assuming he picks up his $2.8 million player option, per Spotrac. He wouldn’t command a ton on the trade market, which should only increase the Celtics’ interest in getting a deal done.
