Overview
- Graves confirmed his decision to stay in the draft on Tuesday, signaling he will not return to Santa Clara or use remaining college eligibility.
- The 19-year-old averaged 11.8 points and 6.5 rebounds per game as a reserve for the Broncos and won WCC Freshman of the Year and Sixth Man of the Year honors.
- Scouts and mock drafts have moved Graves into the mid-to-late first round, with recent placements around picks in the low-to-mid 20s.
- Graves improved his stock during workouts despite underwhelming combine athletic testing, a profile that has appealed to teams valuing shotmaking and analytics.
- Players with remaining eligibility must withdraw by 11:59 p.m. ET on Wednesday to return to school, and the NBA Draft is set for June 23 in New York where Graves will learn his draft fate.
