Devonte’ Graham is having a breakout season. Through the Charlotte Hornets first 11 games the second-year guard is averaging an impressive 18.0 points and 7.3 assists in just over 31 minutes per game. Just to put those numbers in perspective, only six players in the NBA were averaging at least 18 points and 7.3 assists through Wednesday’s games, per Basketball Reference - LeBron James, James Harden, Luka Doncic, Trae Young, Malcolm Brogdon, and our very own Devonte’ Graham.
That’s right, when looking at just points and assists Graham is on the same list as two former MVPs (LeBron and Harden), two former Rookies of the Year (Doncic and Brogdon), and Trae Young who finished second in last year’s ROY voting and will likely be an All-Star this year.
