Graham’s option picked up…Jackson released

Posted on 30 October 2007 by masterjuddi

The Raptors made a few roster moves today, releasing forward Luke Jackson and picking up the fourth-year option on guard/forward Joey Graham. Jackson was signed to two 10 day contracts until being locked up for the remainder of last season. He found himself expendable after the Raptors acquired Carlos Delfino and Jason Kapono in the off season.

The Raptors drafted Joey Graham 16th overall in the 2005 NBA draft. Graham averaged 6.4 ppg and 3.1 in 79 games with the Raptors last season. Graham is arguably the most athletic player on the Raptors, being able to play either shooting guard or small forward. He’ll battle Kapono and Delfino for minutes in the upcoming season.

    i think i would rather have jackson, he is a bit more versatile than moon, but at the end of the day, it really doesn’t matter who is riding the bench at the 15th spot.
