Grading the Milwaukee Bucks’ somewhat surprising hiring of Adrian Griffin

On Saturday, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Milwaukee Bucks have hired former Toronto Raptors assistant coach Adrian Griffin as the next head coach.

Griffin had a 12-year playing career from 1996-2008. Griffin started off his career playing minor-league basketball before spending his final nine years playing in the NBA.

Griffin started his coaching career in Milwaukee as an assistant coach under head coach Scott Skiles from 2008-2010. Griffin then had assistant jobs for the Chicago Bulls (2010-15), Orlando Magic (2015-16), Oklahoma City Thunder (2016-18), and Toronto Raptors, where he’s been the lead assistant coach for Nick Nurse for the past five seasons.
