Devonte’ Graham<\/span><\/span><\/strong> arrived at Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade<\/span><\/span><\/strong> last summer as one of the club\u2019s headline signings, but his first steps in European basketball have proven far from smooth.<\/p>\n

An injury suffered during a preseason game in mid-September delayed his debut, which finally came in Round 13 of the EuroLeague<\/span><\/span><\/strong> against Olympiacos Piraeus<\/span><\/span><\/strong> on November 26. In that win, Graham delivered his best EuroLeague performance so far with nine points and 15 PIR.<\/p>\n

Since then, however, his role has diminished. From Round 17 onward, Graham has logged just over 23 total minutes and was a DNP in games against Anadolu Efes<\/span><\/span><\/strong> and Zalgiris Kaunas<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, despite being listed on the active roster.<\/p>\n

Speaking to BasketNews<\/a>, Graham made it clear that health is not the issue.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cYes, I\u2019m fine,\u201d he said, explaining that his reduced playing time comes down to performance and coaching decisions.
\u201cI\u2019ve been struggling with shooting the ball, scoring, I guess. So the coach plays who he feels should be playing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Head coach Sasa Obradovic<\/span><\/span><\/strong> echoed that sentiment, noting that Graham still needs time to adapt to European basketball demands, particularly as a playmaker.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cHe came later and needs time to understand what a European coach expects,\u201d Obradovic said. \u201cHe works well, and with time, he will improve.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Despite modest numbers so far \u2014 3.0 points, 1.1 assists, and 0.9 PIR in seven EuroLeague appearances \u2014 Graham remains confident.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI don\u2019t lose confidence,\u201d he said. \u201cI know I\u2019m capable. It\u2019s about understanding the game, what the coach wants, and what the team needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A six-year NBA veteran with 336 career games, Graham views the EuroLeague as a different challenge altogether:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cEvery game matters here. You can\u2019t take nights off like in the NBA.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Signed to a one-year deal, Graham\u2019s future in Europe remains open-ended, but he believes patience will be key to turning his season around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
