Open Thread: Devonte’ Graham’s trivia-worthy March Madness shout out
NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four concludes this week
The NCAA Final Four in Phoenix is set and if you have not heard, a member of our San Antonio Spurs has been talked about for his past NCAA involvement pertaining to March Madness.
The trivia question: Which active NBA player scored the most career points in the NCAA tournament?
Even Devonte’ Graham was surprised to learn it is Devonte’ Graham.
That and more in this latest batch of Spurs notes:https://t.co/si58LWHK92 via @expressnews

As San Antonio Express-News writer Jeff McDonald pointed out, Devonte’ Graham is the all-time leading scorer among active NBA players for the NCAA tournament.
The Raleigh, North Carolina native spent four years at Kansas and made headlines during his time competing at the collegiate level, so his 207 tournament points should come as no surprise.
In 2018, he and the Jayhawks made it into the Final Four (which took place at the Alamodome in San Antonio), but were eliminated by the eventual champs, the Villanova Wildcats. Those Wildcats spawned four NBA players – Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, Donte Divincenzo and Omari Spellman.
On a Spurs Live pregame show, Dan Weiss sat with Graham and discussed the trivia-worthy statistic.

With the injuries to the Spurs, Graham got some minutes off the bench on Easter Sunday. Hopefully, fans will be treated to a little more of Devonte’ Graham’s talent before the season closes.
