Treveon Graham signs with Utah Jazz

[Maneesh]

Travon Graham is capable of playing many positions, including some PG. IIRC he's a much better shooter off the dribble than in C+S, he's also a monster on the boards at 6'6". he's actually the type of guard you can draw up an Isolated post-up for.. Has a sharp crossover, this is a player with an interesting mix of skills for sure. 38% from 3 on 5+ attempts too.

Grahan has been at CP3's Elite Guard camp the last 2 summers, which features some big names, top HS and college players. They have this part of the camp where the guards play a big 1v1 tournament, and Graham won it.

Wow I can't believe he can make number one pick?

Yes. Do you know what the term "Cracker" stands for?

Ya, but he could have white in him. So the term would be a perfect fit.

Usually when the slang word cracker is used it refers to a saltine cracker.

We are all crackers

You got some rye crackers, some graham crackers, and some saltines.

Do you eat crackers while posting?

Have you never had a Graham Cracker? They aren't white.

But Treveon Graham is definitely not a Cracker. I was simply pointing out he is the wrong color to be called by that term and even IF he were white, it would be highly offensive.

I'm white and the cracker doesn't offend me. I call my friends crackers too.

The term whiteboy does offend me though. For some reason I'm highly offended when another race uses that term.

y'all are bizarrely mean to Stifle Tower. Anyone with eyes can see that he don't look like a Graham cracker.

See how big of hypocrites other races are?

It's no big deal to them to make fun of white people, but as soon as they feel offended, it's a big cry baby storm/alert the media, and bitch til the end of time.

Interesting. Found this about him:

"Treveon Graham, VCU: Graham is, probably, the nation's most steady player. It seems like every game he posts 15 points and 7 rebounds. Graham is likely a second rounder a year from now and will actually spend this weekend at Kevin Durant's camp which is reserved for twelve of the nation's elite wings."

Also, here's a nice article about him: https://www.todaysfastbreak.com/from-the-courts/senior-sleeper-treveon-graham-nba-draft/

Let's call him Teddy Grahams

This sound delicious!

The question though is he better than Jack Cooley, Chris Johnson, or Bryce Cotton?

Because he has to beat all 3 of those guys out, not to mention that other wing we signed to a partially guaranteed contract.

With Exum being hurt, I think Cotton is safe. Probably comes down to a fight between Cooley, Johnson and the other wings. But you never know, Millsap is also replaceable if he can't improve his shooting.

But even if Graham doesn't make the final cut, he'll probably get offered a contract with the Stampede (unless he gets picked up by another NBA team). And he'll appreciate the fact Utah threw some extra money his way.

Let's please oblige Hack and turn this into a post about race.

So is it okay for other races to call white people names? Or is it time for a race war?

Discuss.

Fair enough. I guess tone matters, too. If I had a friend of another race call me a cracker, I wouldn't be offended. Somebody yelling it at me at school, on the street, etc. would be a different matter.

And speaking of crackers, you know what this thread needs?

Mmmm that gouda looks good

Training camp and the preseason are going to be fun.

 

[Doublea]

is there a list where we can see all of the guys that have contracts from the jazz?

8'7" standing reach (same as Hayward's, Burks was 8'7.5")

I really like what I see there. With the length, I would think he could play some 3 if necessary. I like what I see in his stats too outside of his FT% which is a little worrisome. The stats and highlights make it seems like he's very aggressive in his rebounding. The early highlights also showed someone who didn't look particularly athletic but was crafty in finishing around the basket. I like the pickup a lot. He had great coaching in Smart.

PGAB, I read your comments about VCU's press defense but how good of a half court defender was the kid? Could he evolve into a Artest type defender? Big, rough, bruising type.

Those are awesome numbers for the most part and I'm intrigued by him.

From the videos he seems to have a poor vertical
