<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The workout featuring the Graham twins was much more competitive than most of the other workouts we saw over the course of the week. The Grahams started out with some ballhandling drills, and eventually moved into shooting drills. They started out inside the free-throw line and gradually worked their way out, shooting both set shots and off the dribble. The shooting made its way out to the three point line, where the results were mixed. Stevie shot 15 of 35, and while Joey started out on fire, he got a little tired and cooled off toward the end to shoot 20 of 35. Things got quite a bit more competitive from there. There were several different drills designed to show one-on-one play, one of which involved one player cutting to the wing, catching a pass, and attempting to score on the other. The full blown one-on-one drills were quite physical, with the twins playing to a virtual draw. The first thing that bystanders noticed walking by the MultiPlex gym in Chicago were two 6-7 twins built like NFL linebackers, who seemed to be playing the wrong sport. Once you saw them with the ball in their hands, one realized that the brothers were indeed involved in the right sport. In the aforementioned ballhandling drills, Joey showed a noticeable improvement in his dribbling ability from when he was at Oklahoma State. While he did not have quite the handle of his brother Stevie, he did a pretty good job in the cone drills in front of NBA scouts from four teams picking in the range in which he is projected on being picked. Joey still possesses the same low release point on his shot with little lift, but he made absolutely everything within 18 feet of the basket. As he stepped out to the collegiate three-point line and beyond, he continued to show the ability to knock it down, just not at the amazing clip in which he was netting his mid-range jumpers.</div> Link It's a month old article but I just found it so I thought I'd share it with you guys. Scroll down just a bit and you'll see the section titled "Graham Brothers Workout". <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Next up was the one-on-one duel of the brothers, which actually resulted in a draw. Joey showed a really nice first step, ripped the ball through very quickly into his moves, and did an amazing job creating space on his step-back jump shot. It was clear to anyone in the gym that Graham will be able to step in and contribute to a team immediately as a power small forward in the Ron Artest mold with his chiseled physique, great defense, and emerging perimeter game.</div>
Actually Joey shot 20 of 33... hehe just to point it out. Sounds cool... Joey is a better shooter than I thought.. very nice find Vinkanaddy.. I also wondr what is going to happen with Stevie Graham.
we should have stevie in one of our farm teams.... i dont know if he is sophmore or senior. i know there twins but i dont know what joey is, but if stevie is a sophmore/junior go to college one more year and we'll pick ya up too. . lol, we should seriously think about signing stevie to a min. contract because we need a G/F player. i dont think we need to sign calderon. 20/33 isnt that bad for shooting. but it was practice, and it's totally different from ingame situations. but its good to know he "has" a shot. good post.
They're identical twins and Joey came to the NBA after his senior season. So Stevie is a senior as well, so college isn't a viable option for him. Calderon will be a good addition, he will bring a different game than Rafer and Roko bring to the table.
