ASU Basketball: Torian Graham joins Mavericks for Summer League
By Sam Ficarro
After finishing last season as one of the most prolific scorers in the Pac-12, ASU basketball guard Torian Graham has joined the Dallas Mavericks.
ASU basketball didn’t expect to hear any of their former players’ names Thursday during the 2017 NBA Draft but as soon as the draft concludes, teams are looking to sign undrafted free agents.
This offseason offers a new chance for prospects to make an NBA roster with the addition of a roster spot plus the option for teams to sign undrafted free agents to a two-way player contract between the NBA and NBA G-League (formerly known as the D-League).
