Treveon Graham (born October 28, 1993) is an American professional basketball player for the Taoyuan Pauian Pilots of the P. League+. He played college basketball for the VCU Rams.

High school career

Graham played high school basketball at St. Mary's Ryken High School in Leonardtown, Maryland for Head Coach Dave Tallman, where as a senior he was named to the Washington Post All-Met team for the Washington D.C. area after averaging 21.5 points and 12 rebounds per game. Graham chose to play for coach Shaka Smart at VCU after also considering Boston College, Clemson, Cincinnati, Cleveland State and Northeastern.

College career

As a freshman at Virginia Commonwealth University, Graham became a part of the Rams' regular rotation and averaged 7.0 points and 3.2 rebounds per game. Prior to the start of his sophomore season, he was chosen by Sports Illustrated as the most likely "breakout sophomore" in the nation, based on statistical analysis of his performance in limited minutes as a freshman. Graham's performance did improve significantly in his second season, raising his averages to 15.1 points and 5.8 rebounds as a full-time starter. His performance was good enough to earn him second team All-Atlantic 10 honors.

Prior to the 2013–14 season, Graham was named first team preseason All-Atlantic 10 as VCU was named the preseason favorite to win the league. VCU entered the season ranked 14th in the preseason AP Poll. The Rams scored a key early season road victory, beating 25th ranked Virginia on November 12 in Charlottesville, Virginia. Graham led all scorers with 22 points, including the game-winning three-pointer with just over a second remaining.

As a senior in 2014–15, Graham averaged 16.2 points and 7.1 rebounds in 33 games. Despite being affected by a lingering ankle injury for large parts of the season, Graham helped VCU in many ways. He led VCU in scoring, rebounding, and three-pointers made.
