Amazing to read here that he's fourth in the NBA in made threes...and shooting a fairly decent percentage.

And Svi is shooting a very solid 42.5% from downtown.

A former All-American at KU, Graham, now in his second season with the Charlotte Hornets, will be one of eight players competing in the 3-point contest during the NBA’s All-Star Weekend, on Feb. 15.

Graham currently averages 17.9 points per game for the Hornets, with much of his production coming from downtown. The guard from Raleigh, N.C., has hit 181 of 478 3-pointers (37.9%) through his first 51 games. He ranks fourth in the NBA in 3-pointers made.

During the 3-point contest in Chicago later this month, Graham will be competing against Washington’s Davis Bertans, Brooklyn’s Joe Harris, Sacramento’s Buddy Hield, Chicago’s Zach Lavine, Portland’s Damian Lillard, Miami’s Duncan Robinson and Atlanta’s Trae Young.

Graham also is set to participate in the NBA’s Rising Stars game at All-Star Weekend, playing for the USA team during the Feb. 14 exhibition.

He’ll be going up against a team of international players that includes his former KU teammate and good friend, Svi Mykhailiuk, who is originally from Ukraine. Mykhailiuk is averaging 8.9 points off the bench for Detroit and hitting 42.5% from 3-point range (94-for-221).
