Another day with more movement on the Razorback basketball roster. This time it’s another post player in Arizona State transfer forward, Jalen Graham.
The third-year player from Phoenix, (Ariz.) had a career season for the Sun Devils I’m 2021-22. Graham averaged 10 points, five rebounds and one block per game this season. He scored a season-high 19 points against USC at home on February 3rd.
Graham’s performance this season earned him second team All-Pac12. He had an incredible finish to the 2021-22 season where he saw his minutes increase due to great productivity. He averaged 13.5 points, 52.1% shooting from the floor, 5.5 rebounds 2.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 26.9 minutes through the final 18 games.
The portal additions have bolstered the depth in the post where Arkansas struggled at times during their Elite Eight run. Trevon Brazile, Makhel Mitchell, Makhi Mitchell and Jalen Graham addresses Arkansas’ biggest need moving forward to next season. That’s even if Jaylin Williams stays in the NBA Draft.
