New York Knicks draft profile: Duke F AJ Griffin

AJ Griffin is riding a rollercoaster. He came into his freshman season at Duke as one of the highest-rated prospects in the country but fell down on draft boards after a slow start. However, he stabilized his draft prospects with a strong second half of the season.

His three-point shooting is elite, even if his shot is unconventional. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it and Griffin’s shot definitely ain’t broke.

Any hopes of the New York Knicks landing a top-four pick were dashed on Tuesday night. Instead, they are standing pat at 11, which could put them in a position to draft Griffin, a New York native and former star at Archbishop Stepinac in White Plains.
