3. Joey Graham 16th selection 2005

Joey Graham was the second of two first-round draft picks the Toronto Raptors had in 2005. The first selection at 7th overall was Charlie Villanueva. With the 16th selection, the Toronto Raptors chose to select Joey Graham.

Unlike the first two members of this list, Joey Graham lasted in the NBA for six seasons playing for three teams. Graham spent three unremarkable seasons with the Toronto Raptors, and one each with the Denver Nuggets and Cleveland Cavaliers. He was drafted at the age of 23 and out of the NBA by age 28.

Joey Graham was often unsure about what to do next on the basketball court and finished his career averaging 5.9 points per game. The Raptors traded Charlie Villanueva in 2006 to Milwaukee for T.J. Ford, and the Toronto Raptors did not renew Joey Graham’s contract after his rookie deal.
