You guys just got Joey Graham

nuggets sign joey graham to nonguaranteed deal.

He'll be an alright Kleiza replacement I guess, except without the per36 domination.

He can defend well in the post for his height, shoot the midrange j with a little consistency, and will occasionally crown opponents with nice dunks.

But for someone billed as a combo SF/PF, he absolutely cannot put the ball on the floor. If he does it's either an offensive foul or a travel call, and he tries often. Maybe the Toronto system was to blame? Also he is not very good at learning defensive schemes and has not really developed his skillset beyond college.

Enjoy Joey "Mr. Versatility" Graham. That or waive the lunk.

I hope Flight White beats him out for the team. better upside.

For the life of me, I'll never understand why this team is allergic to adding shooters.

This is a great add by you guys.

Joey has the body of a beast, plays very solid d, although sometimes makes silly mistakes.

He can be a beast on the boards, attack the rim with ferocity, and has a decent perimeter jumpshot.

Contrats on getting Joey G.

And a lot of fans from Toronto will criticize Joey, but don't listen to their garbage. If he gets a decent chance to play, then he's a great pickup by you guys.

Hey now we also signed voshon Lenard in 03 as well. 2 in the last 6 years should lead to plenty of outside shooting, just ask trader Mark.

Odds of him making the team are slim to none. White will most likely beat him out, and even if he doesn't, Szczerbiak will probably get signed midway through camp.

Why do we need another shooter? More or less our entire wing rotation can shoot the long ball. Billups, Lawson, J.R., Afflalo, Melo. Those are the guys that'll play the majority of the minutes at the 1-3 positions, and they are all good to great 3pt shooters.

Shooting is not the issue anymore(this isn't 2005), I don't know how to make that point anymore than I already have. Right now our biggest weakness is probably rebounding.
