There’s no question that AJ Griffin comes to the 2022 NBA Draft with some questions. First is his durability since he already has an injury history. And there are some questions about his athleticism but that’s not the end-all and be-all of basketball. When you look at basketball history much of it is basketball intelligence overcoming physical limitations. Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Muggsy Bogues, Chris Mullin, Bob Lanier, Pete Maravich - none of theme were phenomenal athletes.
And in this regard, never forget Steve Kerr, perhaps the least likely NBA player of all time.
Kerr had one scholarship offer out of high school and that was from Lute Olson as he began to build a hopeless Arizona program.
