Because he plays with energy, and he plays good, tough defense. The difference between RHJ and Graham is that Graham can actually space the floor when he's hitting his shots. Graham was a big factor in that incredible win in Houston, and he was also good today. If Graham can become more consistent on his 3pt shot, he is the better fit and the far cheaper option for us. He's making minimum next season if we choose to keep him.
Graham was awesome against Houston, I was one of the first guys to give him major props that night, but its been 2 games. If Graham becomes more consistent and if RHJ stinks the rest of the year, then yes. Whole lotta ifs there. Lets just let the last 34 games happen.
I've been giving Graham props the entire time because he has been a plus player on the floor even when he was tossing up those hard ass bricks. Dudes were on here saying Graham wasn't an NBA player because he was bad offensively when in reality they weren't paying attention. Dude has been out there playing hard defense and hitting the boards from day 1, there were games as of late where Graham may not have even hit a shot but he had one of the best +/- on the team that night. Now that his shot is finally starting to fall all of a sudden they love him. I'm glad though, the guy works hard and he clearly gets a boost when he sees that shot going in
It helps to pay attention to both ends of the floor when evaluating a player. It amazes me how hard Russell's defense got scrutinized on here but dudes were flat out ignoring how much Graham was putting in the work on D.
The knee jerking drives me nuts. The same people who were saying Graham sucks and shouldn’t touch an NBA floor are saying 2 games later that he’s awesome. Then they move onto RHJ and throw him under the bus. Unreal.
