is a confident point guard and shooter. Last season he logged multiple 20-plus outings. What separates him is his composure and feel for the game. Add in the mid-range excellence and a willingness to take contact at the rim, and Craig profiles as a three-level scorer. He has junior-college interest already and sources tell me that he will be going on some mid-major visits in the coming months.

Grant Craig has rocketed onto Prep Network’s watch list because he pairs elite shot‑making with a savvy floor game. Offensively, Craig has deep range and punishes defenders who go under ball‑screens. Yet what really grabbed our attention was his feel for changing pace. He will freeze a close‑out with a jab, drive the lane with a tight left‑to‑right crossover, and rise into a foul‑line pull‑up before taller wings can recover. That mid‑range package, plus a floater he drops with either hand, makes him far more than a three‑point specialist. With the ball, Craig’s handle is tight. His decision‑making has impressed coaches on site, as he rarely forces the issue. Defensively, Craig’s instincts jump off the film. He anticipates reversal passes, digs down to swipe loose dribbles, and competes physically despite giving up size.

He shows some flashes from behind the arc as a shooter. Craig finds ways to stay relevant in the game frequently.

is dynamic. That’s especially true from a scoring standpoint, both as a shooter and slasher. He has all of the fundamentals in place to continue building for success, including ball-handling and speed and athleticism. Craig is a tenacious defender who competes with a high level of intensity and always gives 100% on that end of the floor. He’s had an outstanding summer and I expect that success to continue into the high school season.

is exceptionally quick and has a strong basketball IQ. While he is young and still a bit undersized, he has a fearless approach to the game and will mix it up physically with anyone. Offensively, Craig is a multi-faceted threat. His explosive ability from beyond the arc makes him a constant danger from long range, while he can also create space off the dribble for a midrange game. Craig plays solid defense, even when guarding taller opponents.

I had the privilege of watching Grant play two games this week in a double header in the YMCA League here in Hollidaysburg. Grant’s ability to hit the three and finish at the basket were on full display. However, what I found most impressive was his knack for getting to the mid-range and hitting an elevated pull up over taller defenders outreached closeout. Multiple times, when he could have settled for a long three, he engaged his defender, blew by and stopped in order to hit the foul line area jumper. This class of 2027 prospect has a bright future playing in Coach Roman’s open offensive system.

‘s 5’8″ stature fool you — this young man is an excellent point guard. Despite his lack of size, Craig compensates with quickness and tight handles. He consistently knocks down shots from well beyond the three-point line. Craig’s confidence is clearly evident in his willingness to rise and fire. He already showcases excellent floor vision and decision-making. Craig has a high basketball IQ and understanding of how to run an offense. After averaging double-figure scoring as a freshman, it’s clear Craig is a special talent.
