Former Kansas point guard Devonté Graham signed his first NBA contract — terms not disclosed — with the Charlotte Hornets at 11 a.m. on Friday at the Aria Hotel in Las Vegas.
Just a few hours later, the 23-year-old Raleigh, N.C., native looked like a possible second-round steal, scoring 10 points with five assists and four rebounds in Charlotte’s 88-87 victory over Oklahoma City in a Las Vegas Summer League opener at UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center.
Graham, a consensus first-team All-American at KU last season selected No. 34 overall in the 2018 NBA Draft, hit 4 of 10 shots overall — 0 for 4 on three-pointers.
