Multi-Billionaire Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 I'm puzzled really. It's not like he can shoot. We traded for Sonny Weems at the draft and the FO gushed he was the player they targeted all along and when we got him, we never played him and traded him. What's the difference between these three players (Weems, White, Graham)? Athletic wings who can fly and wow in dunk contest but cannot shoot... Can Doc or Raptors fans tell me what's good about Graham? I don't like this move at all... Guess the FO is trying to fill up the SF backups with minimum contract players.

OldChili Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 He can start on most teams dude.He didn't even start on the Raptors, except for a couple of games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren2ThaG Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 He didn't even start on the Raptors, except for a couple of games. People must be masking mistakes. He's a guy you take a chance on like Ariza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 I don't see what's so bad about the signing. I have a feeling it's going to be pretty good, from what I've seen from him, his actually pretty decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 (edited) Joey was good in his rookie and last season with the raptors. Not going to lie, he has a very low bball IQ. But he is finally realizing what his srenghts are. He now does not settle for the jump shot. He waits for his shot, doesn't usually force. Cuts to the basket, rebounds, and takes it down the lane. He can play the 2, 3, and 4 spot and has played the 5 spot against Dwight Howard. Before last year all raptor fans hated him and wanted him out. He changed everyone's mind and became a fan fav with last season. In all, a solid 10-12 man. Edited September 26, 2009 by Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he makes the most out of this situation. Although I think we still need 1-2 more shooters, as long as he can be a scorer, I guess he'd be good to back up Melo and J.R. at times.

Universe Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Confidence is the key. Sam Mitchell destroyed him and Jay brought what good he had left out of him. It'll be up to Karl to make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multi-Billionaire Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 He and White would be in dogfight about who gets to be Melo's primary backup and J.R.'s secondary backup. Afflalo is pretty much a lock to be J.R.'s primary backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted September 29, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Joey hasn't really been a professional basketball player since he was drafted, and I knew that as he was coming out of OSU. He's a professional athlete, yes, but so are many bench players. It's Joey Graham, guys. You can't make sense of this, not with George Karl coaching. If Graham is going to turn things around and become a potential starter in the league, it won't happen under Karl or with the Nuggets. For one, there's no room on this team for him to play significant minutes. Two, George Karl doesn't have time to fit him into this offense (if he was smart, he'd look into developing Ty Lawson more). Joey's best bet is to be with guys like Popovich or Larry Brown, guys that will fit him in defensively, and let his offense come only when he's given the shots.
