Offensive Game
Effective off the ball attacking closeouts and finishing plays, but not yet a self-sufficient scorer.
2026 NBA Draft
Selected 19th overall by the Toronto Raptors
WCC Freshman of the Year
Named West Coast Conference Freshman of the Year at Santa Clara in 2026
WCC Sixth Man of the Year
Also named West Coast Conference Sixth Man of the Year in 2026
Allen Graves, out of Ponchatoula, Louisiana, redshirted his first year at Santa Clara before a breakout debut season in 2025-26. Playing all 35 games, he averaged 11.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists, earning West Coast Conference Freshman of the Year and Sixth Man of the Year. A mobile 6'8" forward, Graves defends multiple positions, runs the floor, attacks closeouts, and finishes above the rim, profiling as a modern combo forward. His jump shot, half-court shot creation, and consistency need refinement before he carries an offensive load. Toronto selected him 19th overall in the 2026 NBA Draft, extending the franchise's pattern of long, versatile forwards; he projects as a developmental two-way piece who can defend, transition, and space the floor as his perimeter shooting matures.
Offensive Game
Effective off the ball attacking closeouts and finishing plays, but not yet a self-sufficient scorer.
Defensive Game
Switchable multi-positional defender with mobility and length; his projected NBA calling card.
Intangibles
Plays a winning, low-mistake role; feel is solid though his offensive polish lags his defensive instincts.
