    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">[IMGR]http://www.nba.com/media/bulls/graham_060117.jpg[/IMGR]The Chicago Bulls signed rookie Stephen Graham to a 10-day contract today. He joins the Bulls from the Sioux Falls Sky Force of the Continental Basketball Association.

    Graham will wear jersey No. 1 and will be with the Bulls when they host the New York Knicks tomorrow, Wednesday, Jan. 18, at 7:30 P.M. at the United Center.

    After being selected by Sioux Falls in the first round (seventh overall) of the 2005 CBA Draft, the 6-6, 215-pound Graham has appeared in 13 games (all starts) with the Sky Force. He has averaged 23.0 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 4.3 apg, 1.08 spg and 36.2 mpg, and shot .597 (108-181) from the field, including .722 (13-18) from three-point range, and .864 (70-81) from the free throw line.

    Chicago is Graham?s second stop in the NBA during his rookie season. On Dec. 10, 2005 he was signed by the Houston Rockets. In his six games with the Rockets, he averaged 2.8 ppg and 1.2 rpg in 6.3 mpg before being waived on Dec. 29.

    Graham attended Oklahoma State University, along with his twin brother Joey, who was selected in the first round (16th overall) of NBA Draft 2005 by the Toronto Raptors.

    Chicago?s roster now stands at 15.</div>

    I really like this kid the Rockets fans, at least some of them, where really hyping him up as a good energy guy during his time in Houston. He got cut by them to make room for Josh Davis, but his play for them was exceptional.

    I suppose it would be too much to sign a center, I mean we don't have enough guards as it is.

    Yeah I?m pretty sure he is a three. As far as where he is going to play he will probably not see many minutes. Maybe if the Bulls put him in, and he plays well Skiles will use him. Right now only time I see him getting minutes is in blow outs, which we don?t have many of. Of course I could be wrong Skiles does use a small lineup a lot of times so I would not be surprised if during this stint we see Graham, Noc, and Deng on the floor at the same time.

    I don't understand why we get another guard and it's obvious that we need a center. I'm a little confused here.

    i think the reason they are getting him is so he can drive to the lane we dont have anyone on our team that does that but eddie basden who doesnt play much. plus there probably isnt any good centers out there if there were more teams would be looking into getting them. such teams like phoenix and toronto.
