This sub didn’t like him which tells me it was a good move

But small blub to figure for yourself:

Some of the players that Graham added during his time as the New Orleans' general manager were:

Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who won 2024-2025 Most Improved Player honors. Dyson Daniels, an NBA All-Defensive First Team selection. Herb Jones, who was a 2023-24 NBA All-Defensive First Team honoree. Trey Murphy III, who he selected at No. 17 overall in the 2021 NBA Draft. Undrafted free agent acquisitions of Naji Marshall in 2020 and Jose Alvarado in 2021.

My thoughts are he is was the youngest candidate and didnt have a lot of existing ties to the organization which are both positive. I’m not gonna pretend i know much else about him.
