On the broadcast they said two future 2nds.

WOAH!

Does that mean we are picking THREE 2nd rounders this draft?

I like this Mitch dude. Maybe MJ isn't actually cheap, Cho just sold the 2nds for ping pong tables or something.

He abused my Blue Devils in the tourney is the only downside. What a freakin' bargain!

He's a senior too so he should have more poise running a second unit. That's a nice backup plan if you can't find a suitable backup PG with the MLE. Have to assume the worst and that you can't.

I think we got this pick just for holding SGA hostage from LAC. Shrewd move by Mitch.

You'll love Graham.

Looks like a really good passer with a good handle as well. I’m already intrigued.

Graham is a knockdown shooter, a floor general (unbelievable improvement over college career) not sure about defense but if we are going to run and gun who cares! He was once committed to App State and Kansas wouldn't have made the Final Four this year without him, he will contribute according to the ESPN guys.

Graham is ready and developed as you get now. LOL at the Lakers fans that said Mitch didn't know what he was doing and had some spy who really found Clarkson, Zubac etc. I love our draft. Summer League will be must see also!

Wow apparently Graham is already 23.

It's cool to have a local guy on the roster. His intangibles are through the roof too, I think he'll contribute to this team.

Competes for backup pg minutes, kinda worried he was a jordan guy. If we are truly playing fast then him Diallo could be fun to watch in GLeague.

I'm not comparing him directly to Lin but he will be our best backup PG since Jeremy. An experienced spark plug off of the bench. He will shock any doubter.

MJ picked him because he beat Duke. Hope he pans out, but I don't expect it since he's coming to a laughingstock. If he can play, let him play. Everything else in this draft was a spectacular waste of time, much like the upcoming few seasons.

When did he beat Duke?
