He's an average player at best in the NBA. I don't think he's a backup PG.  He isn't really much of a passer.  More of a combo guard.  Already maxed out his skillset.  Meh on this pick.  (like the rest of the draft).

I kind of think Graham will make this team as a third PG. He will take the Julyan Stone / Marcus Paige role of last season. I think Mitch will take that MLE and spend it on a PG in free agency to back up Kemba. If we are talking about Graham being a Third PG for a year while he develops, that's a good pick. Graham can legit shoot and score

Really good college player, could carve out a Quinn Cook type niche for himself...but also seems like the Quinn Cook type guy who struggles, has a couple good weeks, and then sticks as a team's 10th man. 

Did u really just compare Graham to Cook? Wow

Well then there is no need to even offer him a contract, the clairvoyant Jokeos14 has spoken. 

I know you are still sad because Kansas beat dook in the tourney and Graham had some big plays to help end their season - but can y’all at least let these guys suit up? Grow up! 

its a solid pick. Proven winner, seasoned college player who can immediately come in and compete for the backup PG spot.

Quality guy...will not be a bust

Only the crybaby duke fans in here think this was a terrible pick. Most duke fans never ever heard of Graham (even though he is from NC) until he helped end their season.

Figures you'd bring up Duke in this conversation.

I like Graham.  He was a good college player.  His skills don't translate to the NBA.  It is what it is.

I'd rather have Malik Newman if I was choosing Kansas players. Graham is a nonathletic guard that can make open jumpers.  It is the 2nd round pick so guess you can't expect much from it though.

“His skills don’t translate to the nba”

spoken by someone who probably has never played any sort of organized basketball in his life. 

Malik Newman wasn’t even drafted. Heard him and Berry are signing with the Lakers. If Newman could have played duke a few more times he probably would have been a lottery pick.

I didn't know you had to be a high level basketball player to have an opinion on other athletes.  I know that Newman wasn't drafted.  I'd prefer him over Graham.  Shows you how little I think of him.  Him and Berry are basically the same player.  Unathletic (by NBA standards) combo guards that can shoot an open J.

How does that help the Hornets?

I like the pick.  Gritty Senior guard who was a leader and improved every year in college.. Bill Self doesn't turn out many bust players.. Especially when the guy was in his system for years.. They all turn out to be solid rotation guys or glue guys for their teams.. He is Kemba's backup day one imo..

And I am a Duke fan...

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
