After a stellar senior year at [[Oklahoma State University - Stillwater|Oklahoma State University]] in which he showed incredible athleticism and the ability to take control of a game while playing for the Cowboys, he was selected 16th overall in the [[2005 NBA Draft]] by the Toronto Raptors. Much anticipation was heaped upon him as he was chosen with one of the two first round picks acquired from the much maligned [[Vince Carter]] who was traded to the [[New Jersey Nets]] during the [[2004-05 NBA season|2004-05 season]]. Joey started his rookie season as a Raptors starter, playing as [[small forward]] and was given difficult tasks such as guarding much more experienced players such as [[Vince Carter]], [[Antawn Jamison]], [[Tayshaun Prince]], and [[LeBron James]]. After five games, he was moved out of the starting lineup and replaced by the 5-year Raptors veteran, [[Morris Peterson]]. For his entire rookie season, Graham averaged 6.5 points per game. Joey Graham has a fraternal twin brother, [[Stevie Graham|Stephen]] of the [[NBA]]'s [[Indiana Pacers]], who has been his long-time rival and has previously played for the [[Houston Rockets]], [[Cleveland Cavaliers]], [[Chicago Bulls]], and [[Portland Trail Blazers]]. Joey and Stephen attended Brandon High school, and attended Central Florida for their first two years of college. Later, they transferred to OSU. On [[October 29]] [[2007]] The Raptors extended Graham's contract which runs through 2008–09.<ref>[http://www.insidehoops.com/graham-option-102907.shtml],insidehoops.com, [[29 October]] [[2007]], accessed [[29 October]] [[2007]].</ref> ==NBA career statistics== {{NBA player statistics legend}} :''Correct as of [[8 April]] [[2008]]'' ==== Regular season ==== {{NBA player statistics start}} |- | align="left" | [[2005–06 NBA season|2005–06]] | align="left" | [[Toronto Raptors|Toronto]] | '''80''' || '''24''' || '''19.8''' || .478 || .333 || .812 || '''3.1''' || '''.8''' || '''.5''' || '''.2''' || '''6.7''' |- | align="left" | [[2006–07 NBA season|2006–07]] | align="left" | [[Toronto Raptors|Toronto]] | 79 || 21 || 16.7 || '''.495''' || .290 || .840 || '''3.1''' || .6 || .4 || .1 || 6.4 |- | align="left" | [[2007–08 NBA season|2007–08]] | align="left" | [[Toronto Raptors|Toronto]] | 38 || 3 || 8.7 || .434 || '''.667''' || '''.844''' || 1.8 || .4 || .1 || .0 || 3.6 |- | align="left" | Career | align="left" | | 197 || 48 || 16.4 || .480 || .331 || .828 || 2.8 || .6 || .4 || .0 || 6.0 {{end box}} ==== Playoffs ==== {{NBA player statistics start}} |- | align="left" | [[2007 NBA Playoffs|2006–07]] | align="left" | [[Toronto Raptors|Toronto]] | '''6''' || '''3''' || '''18.2''' || '''.286''' || .000 || '''.800''' || '''3.3''' || '''.3''' || '''.7''' || .0 || '''2.7''' |- | align="left" | [[2008 NBA Playoffs|2007–08]] | align="left" | [[Toronto Raptors|Toronto]] | 2 || 0 || 1.0 || .000 || .000 || .000 || .0 || .0 || .0 || .0 || .0 |- | align="left" | Career | align="left" | | 8 || 3 || 13.9 || .261 || .000 || .800 || 2.5 || .3 || .5 || .0 || 2.0 {{end box}} ==References== <references /> ==External links== *{{NBA-profile}} *{{basketball-reference}} *[http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/player/profile?playerId=3421 NCAA player card at ESPN.com] *[http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3942 Stats at Yahoo Sports] {{Toronto Raptors current roster}} {{2005 NBA Draft}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Graham, Joey}} [[Category:1982 births]] [[Category:Living people]] [[Category:Delaware sportspeople]] [[Category:African American sportspeople]] [[Category:Small forwards]] [[Category:Shooting guards]] [[Category:Oklahoma State Cowboys basketball players]] [[Category:Toronto Raptors players]] [[Category:UCF Knights men's basketball players]] [[Category:Twin people]] {{1980s-US-hoops-bio-stub}} [[es:Joey Graham]] [[it:Joey Graham]] [[ja:ジョーイ・グラハム]]
