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...

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
