Nets sign F Stephen Graham, hire Overton, Hoenshel

The New Jersey Nets signed free agent forward Stephen Graham to a two-year contract on Wednesday.

General manager Billy King did not release terms of the contract, but a person with knowledge of the deal said Graham received a partially guaranteed contract for this season with a team option for next year. The person did not want to be identified because he was not authorized to speak for the team.

A five-year veteran, Graham has career averages of 4.3 points and 1.7 rebounds in 180 career games with Cleveland, Chicago, Houston, Portland, Indiana and Charlotte. He appeared in a career-high 70 games with the Bobcats last season, averaging 4.2 points and 1.9 rebounds.

Overton takes on a new role in player development after spending the past two seasons as an assistant coach. The 11-year NBA veteran will assist the players with individual skills on the court.

Hoenshel comes to the Nets after working at the Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute, where he served as a physical therapist.
