We’ve been looking at some of the best from the decade that just passed us by. Here’s our All-Decade Ohio State basketball starting five.

Point Guard – Aaron Craft (2010-2014)

There’s really no question here. Craft wasn’t an elite scorer at the point guard position, but he was gritty and savvy, and tough buckets when needed. More than anything though, there may not have been a better defender in all of college basketball through the last decade, not just on Ohio State’s team. After all, he’s the career leader in steals in Columbus.

But his offense was underrated. He only averaged 8.9 points per game, but he had a bushel of assists, so much so that he’s the program leader with 694 total. He will always be one of Buckeye Nation’s favorite players of all time because of the heart and effort he put forward for four years.
