Santa Clara men's basketball standout Allen Graves is one of 25 finalists for the 2025-26 Kyle Macy Award, as announced by CollegeInsider.com on Wednesday. The award is presented annually to the top freshman in division I college basketball.

A native of Ponchatoula, La., Graves was a First Team All-WCC selection and took home both WCC Freshman and Sixth Man of the Year honors. The big man is averaging 11.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 0.9 blocks per game. He has scored in double figures 25 times this season with a season-high of 30 points to go with 14 rebounds against Washington State on Feb. 7. Graves recently was named to the WCC's All-Tournament team following his three-game tally of 13.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game to help the Broncos advance to the WCC Tournament championship game for the first time since 2007.

Very few schools did as he had a late growth spurt.

Yep, he is still learning his position. He had always played guard until his growth spurt.

I would be very surprised if he did, considering the family he comes from.

Maybe he will play for Coach Will Wade and the Tigers!
