His career is pretty good sample size. He's just terrible at the rim. His best scenario at the rim is getting to the line or dumping it off. I cringe when he drives to the basket and my heart stops everytime he throws up a wild shot.

5.6% of Graham's shots are taken 0-3 feet out. Just a wildly low number.

Also wildy low, he makes 46% of those.

We really got to stop with the Kira experiment.

We have what we have with him. I just don’t get why people want to keep trying and keep trying. He’s an end of bench guy and won’t be anything more.

He looked very serviceable tonight. Honestly, I have been pretty critical of Kira previously, but he seems like a different player lately. It's like he's finally slowing down a bit and letting things develop

Not saying you’re wrong but how can you make that assessment? He’s what, 20? He’s shown flashes on D and as a guy who can get to the cup and dish. His 3 looks more fluid too.

I don't mean just when we're up 30 or when everyone is out. When he's out there, he's smooth and looks like one of our best guys. The speed/quickness/playmaking/finishing at the rim (!!) is awesome. And it's not like he's making dumb mistakes on defense either.


You do know what number Kira is right?? Might want to pump the brakes just a bit Mr. Lewis. I'm happy he's appeared to have cracked the rotation; we need to see what he can bring us. But its definitely a lot of feast or famine right now with him, which is not unexpected.

Te's open 2's are like Herb's open 3's but Te doesn't do anything else good to make up for it.


How do you say something like this when Graham has far and away the best assist to turnover ratio on the team. Do you just only notice when he shoots (and misses, which until two weeks ago was just about every time he shot).

Because he's still incredibly young, with some elite traits and he finally seems to be rounding out into a better all around PG. Dude just needs minutes. He's obviously improving.
