<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Toronto is the only team that has three rookies in its every day rotation. They each came to the NBA in a different manner. Joey Graham spent five years in college (he had to sit out a year after transferring from Central Florida to Oklahoma State). Charlie Villanueva entered the draft after just two years at UConn. Jose Calderon was a free agent who played professionally in Spain. They're each in the top 11 rookies in minutes per game. They have had their struggles early on, but they've won two straight and the future looks bright in Toronto. We caught up with the Raptor rookies before their win in New Jersey Saturday night. Rookie Report: Had you heard of Jose before he was signed? Charlie Villanueva: No. Joey Graham: Never heard of him. Never seen him. RR: How about after he was signed? JG: When he was signed, I was just asking a bunch of questions. I asked the people upstairs who he was, how tall he was and how he was as a person because I didn't know too much about him. RR: Did you watch him at all in the European Championships this summer? CV: I watched some of that. I also watched a little video clip of some of his highlights on our website when we signed him. JG: I watched that too when we heard that he was coming aboard. </div>Source
