Scores 12 against Baylor Graves chipped in 12 points (4-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Monday's 81-74 loss to Baylor.

Impact Graves has been a modest contributor as Creighton's primary point guard through five games, posting consistent, but not eye-popping, stat lines. One area he's struggled in has been outside shooting, and although Monday represented the first game of the year in which he's cashed multiple three-pointers, he's still shooting a dismal 16.0 percent from distance so far on the year. He'll likely need to provide some more offensively if Creighton wants to pull an upset against Iowa State on Tuesday.

Impact Graves made his Creighton debut Wednesday, starting at point guard for the Bluejays and performing well. He was second on the team in scoring with 15 points, and he also led the team in assists (five) and steals (three). It was a nice start to the season for him and he clearly carved out an important role on this ranked squad. Next up he faces a difficult test versus Gonzaga on Nov. 11, a game that will be a better indication on what his production could look like against the upper echelon of opponents.
