Joey Graham

[EastCoastJazz]

ESPN Insider is reporting that the Jazz are one of the teams that are interested in Joey Graham. Thoughts?

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

Another wing who can't shoot. Excellent.

 

[C l u t c H 385]

Ugh. That is all.

Happy to hear they are looking for one more piece - just not Graham please.

My last impression of Joey Graham was very favorable.

 

[BabyPeterzz]

He lit us up in Chauncey and Crymelo's absence. But another wing? Really?

 

[Guitaro]

I also remember Joey finally getting time and he took advantage of it. He quickly demolished what we had on the court. Although, I do agree, another wing? I would have to think that maybe the Jazz are looking at trading AK and would need another SF to fill out the roster?

On the other hand, who would you rather have, Jeffers or Graham? Both are tough. Both are more of a slasher than a shooter. Graham has much more experience and a little more talent. Jeffers would be cheaper. Graham would do better on a playoff team. I guess it would depend on how much it would take to bring him here.

 

[David Stern]

Graham > Jeffers. If he comes at the min i'll do it.

 

[D Will> CP3]

He is one tough SOB Id take him for cheap but do we really need another wing? Rather spend it on a big like Ratliff, Etan Thomas, Amundson or Mikki Moore

 

[VINYLONE]

I'm with you on Mikki Moore. And the dude loves playing here.

I'm agreeing with Satan.
Graham is a decent shooter (49% career avg.) although he doesn't have range out to the three. Our last three roster spots are coming down to Jeffers, Gaines and Evans.
Is Graham better than Evans or Jeffers? Yes. He's also 6'7" so he could play either wing position. When AK goes down for 15 games with his ankle sprain or bad back, Jazz will need someone to fill in. Graham would provide some good depth in case Hayward isn't ready to step in right away.

I've suggested Moore a couple of times. Haven't heard his name connected with anyone. I wonder if he's decided to retire.

Spend the money on getting Gortat and fill the rest of the team with scrubs.
