    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>"I've been playing multiple positions since I played basketball, Graham said. "The only [difference] in mindset between the wing players and the post players is it's a little bit more physical. And that plays into what I like. It's second nature to me."</div>

    Ok, that's fine, say what you will, but...

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>"I'll play the one [point guard] if I have to," Graham said at Tuesday's shoot-around in Orlando. "I'll play the five [centre]. It doesn't matter. I'm the most versatile player, I think, in the league."</div>

    Um...

    Ah...

    So...

    Pretty much goes without saying that Joey Graham should be drug tested.

    Maybe the guy should try to play one position with even a modicum of skill before saying he can play two or five.

    Lol, he thinks he's more versatile than Shawn Marion, to say the least...

    He can't even find a position from the 2 and the 3, and he wants to throw 1, 4, and 5 into the mix? Dumbass.

    Hey, you guys need to leave Joey Graham alone. He is the best Raptor pick since Carter. I mean, if he wants to play PG then the nice people at the mental hospital should let him.

    yeah before we get all bent out of shape, let's look closer at his comments.

    "I'm the most versatile player, I think, in the league."

    Now we all assume he's talking about the NBA but he could very well be refering to the local YMCA league that he probably kicks ass in.

    So yes, Joey you are the most versatile player in the YMCA...except for the Asian kid that keeps making you look bad.

    Lawl what a joker. On the switching thing though, Maybe Joey and Stephen did switch when the Raps drafted him because Joey didnt want to play in Canada and thats why we have the lesser talented one of the two brothers.

    He's dominating the Israeli league right now, which is a damn good league, especially this year. I don't have averages, but I can tell you that nobody in the league can stop the guy. He's strong, he has a decent jump shot, great rebounding skills and his athleticism really helps him on drives. Unstoppable so far.

    I campaigned for the Raptors to draft him out of Texas, then they did but he didn't have a position or a well-defined skill set and he couldn't stick in the league. Hopefully he can refine his game overseas and come back to the NBA.
