Graeme
Graham seems to have a good rest after the All-Star weekend. In the face of the two games between the Bulls and the Nets, the superstar of the Hornets only shot 1 and felt nothing. Graham's state is almost as bad as his performance in the All-Star Three-Point Game, but he adjusted his state in time.
Facing the Knicks, Graham contributed 2 1 point 1 rebound and 5 assists to lead the team to victory. Then against the Raptors, Graham once again sent the boss Michael Jordan a victory with 18 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. This is Graham's standard. As the fourth pick in the second round of 2065438+2008, he was selected by the eagle, with an annual salary of only $65438 +0.42 million.
Last season, Graham averaged only 4.7 points 1.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game, hovering on the edge of Hornets rotation. Kemba walker firmly holds the position of the main point guard, while Graham, as a rookie point guard, has no chance of winning. At that time, Graham only had a three-year, $4.07 million unsecured contract, which could be abandoned by the wasp at any time.
However, Graham started to be a substitute after Walker left this season, and once took the team originally planned to be led by rosier as his own. Up to now, Graham averaged 17.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 0.9 steals, hit 3.4 three-pointers, and shot 36.6% per game, ranking ninth in the NBA.
Ranked eighth is kemba walker, who can also hit 3.4 3-pointers per game. But in contrast, Walker's four-year contract is $65,438 +0.4 1 billion, which is really sky-high. Michael Jordan, who has been stingy with his salary on his chosen rookie, can definitely figure out this account. Obviously, Jordan made the right decision to send kemba walker away. After all, what he needs is that this team can continue to make profits for him, and he doesn't expect this lineup to pose any threat to the championship.
Graham's birth was no accident. He has been working miracles since he came into this world. Graham was only 14 years old when his mother gave birth to him. Like many black families, his father had already fled. Poverty, violence and other bad things filled Graham's surroundings, so he spent his childhood.
Perhaps he left so many unpleasant memories that Graham didn't even want to mention the past, especially before senior three. Because of malnutrition, Graham was only 1.7 meters tall in his senior year. His personal ability is stronger than that of any classmate of his age, but people don't think highly of him, because talent is an important magic weapon for them to survive in leagues such as NCAA and NBA.
Before graduating from high school, Graham won a scholarship from capel, coach of La Appalachia State University. At this time, his height has jumped to 1.83 meters. The last time an NBA player appeared at La Appalachia State University was back to 1947. But then the university changed its coach, and Graham realized his dream of a prestigious school and joined Kansas State University.
Through his outstanding performance at the University of Kansas, Graham was finally selected to participate in the draft at the age of 23. As an older rookie, Graham didn't get many opportunities at first, and the team didn't think highly of him. At most, it is a stable point guard on the bench, and each game wins Walker 65,438+05 minutes of breathing time.
Now, waiting for Graham is likely to be a five-year contract renewal of $654.38 billion, which is definitely in line with his current worth. You know, this is only the second season. Who can imagine what kind of performance he can play in the future at the age of 25?
NBA, where miracles are born, Graham is a miracle boy.
