It wasn’t a perfect game or anything but Duke’s tussle with Lafayette had some very strong points, not least of all the complete debut of a new weapon: AJ Griffin.
We’ve already seen Griffin play with enormous energy and that he can have a major impact on the course of a game but we haven’t really seen his offense like we saw it Friday night.
Griffin shot 7-10 overall and 4-6 from three point range for 18 points. It adds a level of dynamism to Duke’s offense that really takes it to another level.
A lot of it seemed to come in waves in the second half which was good because Duke was kind of struggling in spots just before and after halftime.
