What do you guys think of him. Im starting to dislike Joey Graham more. He's athletic and big but very inconsistent. He can have some very good games yet very bad games. And he makes TONS OF MISTAKES. A bit before playoffs in the Toronto Star I read that DMartin had to review the plays with Graham because he didn't know the plays at all. The paper also mentioned he's sometimes not sure what to do when he has the ball or when they are playing offence. But honestly how can you not know the teams plays? I seriously think we should trade him. He's just pissing me off. He made a couple of mistakes yesterday that caused us the game, and Mitchell didn't take him out of the game.
I hate his inconsistency....He's at his best when he's getting involved, hounding the boards, driving in, etc...He's got a decent, but pretty inconsistent mid range shot....he's been a total bust on the defensive end, he's not always involved in the game....he's a pretty dumb basketball...I think he can be a good role player off the bench if he can get his head in the game all the time.
I like graham but yeah inconsistant and it was the smitchs fault too for not taking him out and puting in mo pete or someone else
To be honest, I want Graham traded. You cant be inconsistent however you please, if Coach relies on you, you should produce. We could get alot for him. Teams may want an atheltic small forward to put on the roster. Hes a very good transition player as well.

It can be a lottery or not as long we can pick up alando tucker who can replace Mo Pete as I keep getting this feeling that MoPEte will be gone. And besides its Graham's 2nd year and he still hjasnt been producing the way we want him to. So he should definitely be traded in my opinion.
Smitch did the right thing yesterday, as he benched Joey Graham 6 or 7 minutes into the game. once Mo Pete came on, things started to go our way. Because of Mo Pete, Richard Jefferson was virtually invisible for the first half.
Joey Graham can dunk, and has had a couple of good games after the Garbajosa injury. If he's staying next year, he's probably going to be benched due to Garbajosa, Bargnani, Mo Pete & Luke. Although he did cost us a game advantage because he didn't pay attention.

I liked him when he first came, but he is just so goddamn streaky, and probably the most selfish player on the team. He just doesn't work in our offense where ball movement is key.

When we werent moving the ball in game 1, he took the stand and generated his offence. Sure he didnt move the ball, but he reminds me of Darrick Martin, except he has a better IQ. Graham and Juan could give us a couple first rounders we need however.
I think he should go to the D league for a while. Hopefully he will learn to pay attention there. And about Dixon, he shouldn't be traded.

He just started to get inconsistent when the playoffs came along, and so did every player. I would say trading Graham for a ltae 1st round pick this year, and a 2nd to get a big man would be solid for the Raptors.
I think you guys are overrating Graham's trade value big time. One person said they could get a good veteran SF in this thread, another said a 1st rounder this year... I'm not so sure about that. You have to package him with something else that draws more interest to the other party.

I agree, he isnt much, I think at most this year he could have been a 10 and 5 player.
