2023 rankings were finalized on 6/22/23.

Height: 6-9
Weight: 220
College: Arkansas
Classification: Senior
Birthdate: 5/5/2001

Projected Draft Range: Likely Undrafted

Pros:

Decent low post scorer
Decent scorer off the dribble
Excels at scoring on off-ball motion plays
Solid rebounder
Adequate defender
Decent shot blocker
Solid athlete
Good motor

Cons:

Must extend his shooting range
Needs to improve his outside shot
Can display spotty shot selection
Can have lapses defensively
Needs to add strength
Doesn’t get enough playing time this year
Classic tweener, may be a bit undersized to play inside

Summary:

Jalen Graham is an athletic, high-motor big man that thrives at operating out of the post. He is a rim-runner that can score on rolls to the rim, and he can also play with his back to the basket. He can throw down magnetic dunks to give his team a boost. He’s a bit undersized to play inside, and he’ll need to add more range to his jump shot, but his athleticism, motor, and budding skill set could enable him to make his way to the NBA someday.
