3. Shoots Over 40 Percent From The Field

Throughout his career, the diminutive Graham has struggled to make shots inside the 3-point line. In his career, he is a 37.6 percent shooter from the field, making only 39.5 percent of his shots inside the arc.

According to NBA Advanced Stats, Graham made only 41 percent of his attempts inside the area last season.

It was the lowest among players with at least 50 attempts. Theo Maledon was the only other player that shot worse than 44 percent.

His rookie season, when he was 40-for-95 on 2-pointers, is the only time that he was above 40 percent in his career. This season with the New Orleans Pelicans will be the first time in his career that he surpasses 40 percent overall from the field.
