'''Joseph (Joey) Graham''' (born [[June 11]], [[1982]] in [[Wilmington, Delaware]]) is an [[United States|American]] professional [[basketball]] player currently with the [[Toronto Raptors]] of the [[National Basketball Association|NBA]]. 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>
