This Is Exactly What the Raptors Drafted Allen Graves For
Three Summer League games into his career, and Allen Graves is already showing exactly why the Toronto Raptors used the 19th overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft on him. In this video, we break down every game so far — the 22-point, 13-rebound double-double against the Boston Celtics, the quieter outing against the Houston Rockets, and the playmaking and defensive explosion against the Indiana Pacers — and connect it all back to the pre-draft scouting report that got Raptors fans excited in the first place. Graves came out of Santa Clara as a redshirt freshman with a reputation as an efficient, high-IQ two-way forward, and through his first taste of NBA-adjacent competition, that profile is translating immediately. We’ll go stat by stat through his rebounding, his activity on defense, his efficiency from three, and the flashes of playmaking that suggest there’s even more in the tank than the box score shows.
If you’ve been wondering whether the Allen Graves pick is going to pay off for Toronto, this is the video that lays out the case. Make sure to subscribe for more Raptors Summer League coverage as the schedule continues.

Nice
any updates on kawhi?
Raptors will fine tune him no problem.
I can’t wait to see Scottie / kawai / cmb / Allen graves all together. The versatility is wild. Gives Dario some crazy line how he can run
Kyle Anderson is a Raptor? I didn't even hear about that.
Stop using chatgpt for your script. It sounds horrible
Whats up with your edits today,seemed a little off. But the vid is 🔥
Typical Summer League for the more heralded picks. Spectacular highlight reel plays but most have mediocre splits compared to the steady Graves. And most of these rookies will come into camp having to prove they are positive contributors, especially for the serious playoff contenders. Graves' expectations will also be modest but he may be able to slot in right from the start as a connector on both sides of the court.
i think raptors need one more piece like trading for a point guard like tre jones, probably will cost a first round pick, have to if they are all in, if shead and quickley don't improve much at point guard. i prefer tre jones to start, quickley play the 2, rj backup sf
