If you asked Aubrey Griffin in eight grade where she would be this week, she might’ve had her eyes set on a soccer field in France instead of a basketball court in Storrs, CT. This probably comes as a surprise to some. Griffin comes from a basketball family, after all. Her father, Adrian, had a nine year NBA career and just won the NBA Finals as an assistant coach for the Toronto Raptors.
“I actually played soccer up until 8th grade, so he never forced me to play basketball or anything,” said Griffin of her Dad’s influence on her hoops career.
