Los Angeles Lakers: 5 NBA prospects to watch in 2018 Final Four

– Devonte’ Graham

One of the top seniors in the country this season has been Devonte’ Graham of Kansas. While Kansas does have the reputation of disappointing in big games, the Jayhawks were able to get the job done this season with their senior guard. Now, Graham will be seeking to win a National Championship.

In the Elite 8 against a very good Duke team, Kansas was able to pull off the slight upset to advance to the Final Four. In the overtime thriller, Graham didn’t have a monster game, but he ran the offense quite well for Kansas.

This season, Graham has averaged 17.2 points, 7.3 assists, and 4.2 rebounds per game. Overall, there are few guards in the country that was able to have the season that Graham was able to for his team this season.

Graham is projected be a late first round to second-round pick, which puts him very much in range for the Lakers. The potential matchup between Graham and Brunson in the Final Four should be a great one to watch, as two of the best guards in college go head-to-head. While Graham has been a bit quiet in the tournament so far, he is certainly capable of having a big game against Villanova.
