Graves totaled five points (1-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal in 15 minutes during Tuesday's 148-98 preseason win over the Knicks.
Graves made his preseason debut, having missed the opening games due to a minor groin concern. Although his production was nothing to write home about, he looked relatively confident for a rookie who had yet to see the floor. It would appear as though Graves will open the season as the ninth or tenth man in the rotation, making him a non-factor, outside of dynasty formats.

Raptors' Allen Graves: Another solid SL effort Thursday
Rotowire
Graves finished with 23 points (8-16 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one steal and two blocks over 27 minutes in Thursday's 99-90 Summer League win over Miami.
Graves has played well throughout four appearances in the Las Vegas Summer League. However, he had his best game Thursday, recording 23 points, his highest-scoring performance during his time in Las Vegas, while shooting an efficient 4-for-6 from deep. The 19-year-old has shown he can be a difference-maker on both ends of the floor. While that doesn't necessarily mean Graves will see consistent playing time with the Raptors to begin his career, it certainly doesn't hurt his chances either.

Raptors' Allen Graves: Heading to Toronto
Rotowire
Graves was selected by the Raptors with the No. 19 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
Graves averaged 11.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.9 blocks and 1.9 steals while shooting 41.3 percent from deep across 22.6 minutes in 35 regular-season contests with Santa Clara in 2025-26. He started four games in his only year at the collegiate level. Still, Graves did enough to be named the WCC Freshman of the Year and WCC Sixth Man of the Year. With that in mind, the 19-year-old will presumably come off the bench for a Toronto team that will be looking to contend in 2026-27, though he should hold a stable role at both forward positions.
