As you probably know, recently high school junior AJ Griffin committed to Duke.
What most of us probably didn’t realize is how much of a basketball family he comes from and how intelligently his father has handled their development.
Their dad is Adrian Griffin Sr. (AJ is obviously Junior), an NBA and coaching veteran.
In this article Gary Parrish compares him to LaVar Ball, father of Lonzo and Melo, and appreciates how Griffin has dealt with his three kids.
His oldest, Alan, is at Illinois, his daughter Aubrey is at UConn, unquestionably still the finest women’s program and AJ of course is headed for Duke, one of the bluest of the blue blood programs.
