Raptors rookie Allen Graves is VERY misunderstood | Coach Ryan Madry Interview
Santa Clara Broncos Associate Head Coach Ryan Madry had a lot of good things to say about rookie Allen Graves, his fit with Toronto and his journey from 0-star recruit to 19th overall pick.
What’s obvious is that Allen’s work ethic, motor and desire to be great at the next level are undeniable. And as far as what type of level Allen can get to in the NBA, as coach Madry said over and over, “I trust him to figure it out”.
Santa Clara Basketball has seen historic success over the past 5 years, and in 2026, they made the NCAA tournament as a mid-major for the first time since Steve Nash led them there in 1996. Nash also slipped out of the lottery. Nash was also deemed unathletic and undersized. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned since 1990, Santa Clara prospects always exceed their draft position in the pros.

Great questions!
Awesome Interview Rob!
Based on his impact, he can be the the second rookie to win 6th man of the year.
20th overall? 19th. You good Rob?
Amazing interview as always pen
Great interview 🙌🏾
Awesome interview y'all
I like this kid, a lot. Good head on his shoulders and great attitude. Hope he has a great career in the six.
Rob, I can always count on you to give me a solid read on a player. Hoping for good things for this player. Excited to see his adjustment to the NBA.
Hes gunna be a another special guy for us, thanks for the interview Rob!
Definitely one of my favourite interviews I’ve watched. Great job pen!
Raptors know what they are doing.
When will we offer Deandre Ayden a contract?
Santa Clara isn’t an NBA factory like Kentucky or Duke. They only have two current NBA players, so adding a third would absolutely be special.
I have been watching you since around 2020 , moved to Canada from Croatia and it’s always so awesome to see people like you represent the balkans . Very good interview as expected .
Dude seriously the best Basketball content on the platform. Much love from Nova Scotia!
20:54 – I don't think he needs to speed up his shot.
If he's not getting guarded, he can shoot comfortably.
If he is guarded, that opens up gaps.
Most importantly, he's got a good pump fake. Why is that? Becuase his release point is high. He can probably get guys to fly by which give him an easy dribble opportunity.
Always gettin the scoops. Great interview!
GREAT interview! Thanks for all your great work, Rob 🔥
Hey, you also said Ulrich Chomche was special…. just sayin
I just found your channel. Great interview. Not the usual fluff
I never understood the fixation on being a starter. It just makes sense to stagger your top players to always have a strong team on the floor for the full game.
