Devonté Graham ready to run show for KU basketball as season opener approaches

Kansas senior point guard Devonté Graham spoke to his teammates on Tuesday after the third and final game of the 2017-18 exhibition season.

“I said in the locker room, ‘It’s finally here,’” Graham, the Big 12’s preseason player of the year, said of a highly-anticipated regular season, which opens at 8 p.m. Friday against Tennessee State in Allen Fieldhouse.

“All the exhibition games are behind us. Now we’ve got to do it, handle business.”

Graham is the best bet to take over as go-to guy duties after the departure of national college player of the year Frank Mason.
