What the analysts are saying
- "Graham has the makings of an immediately solid backup point guard, with the ability to shoot and initiate out of pick-and-roll action. He’ll likely get drafted despite his age and limited ceiling." - Sports Illustrated's Jake Fischer
- "It wouldn't be a surprise if Graham earns late first-round consideration for his backup ball-handling potential and shooting. He has the chance to carve out the same career Shabazz Napier has coming off the bench." - Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman
