Treveon Graham is a hard-working wing, who went undrafted in 2015 out of VCU. He improved his 3 point percentage in college, from 31.3% his Freshman year, to 38.1% his Senior year. He also more than doubled his attempts for the season in that time span, taking 83 his first year and 168 his last year in College. Graham continued that improvement in the NBA, possessing a 43.8 career percentage from the land of 3. He played his entire rookie year in the G League, before earning a 2-year stint with the Charlotte Hornets.
Treveon fits with the Atlanta Hawks as a potential 3 and D candidate. He has the ability to defend the 1, 2, & 3 positions. He even spent some time playing PG on offense in the G league and provides some value as a secondary ball handler.
Verdict: Graham is unproven, but has shown enough potential to warrant a chance to compete for an NBA roster spot. The Atlanta Hawks should sign Treveon Graham to a 3 year 5.5 million dollar deal, with only 1 year guaranteed. They should invite him to training camp, and allow him to compete with the likes of Antonius Cleveland, Jaylen Morris, and DeAndre Bembry for a roster spot.
