Yet none of these points explains why it would actually be appealing to the player.  This isn't a zero sum game.  It has to be good for SU, but you have to remember that it also has to be good for the kid too.  Joseph is rated pretty closely rated to Graham.  Therefore, it is safe to say it would be a crap shoot as to who would get the playing time.

Now tell me, why Graham would want to come in to that situation?  Great for SU, not so great for player.

P.S. - and before you add to the argument that there is enough playing time for both of them, I think you would need to look at it through the eyes of the player.  He would see Gbinijie, an upper-class man, getting the back up minutes this year. And see that they have this other guard, only a sophomore (Patterson), on the roster.  What would lead him to believe that it wouldn't be an uphill battle for him?

P.P.S - As SU, I would rather lose out on getting Graham, and have the way clear for introducing Tyus Battle as our next incoming PG recruit.
