Freak of nature, off the charts athletic specimen type, Griffin is the perfect storm of strength, athleticism and work ethic. It’s rare to find elite level talent that also possesses the character and drive to outwork everyone. Griffin has immense potential due to his superior athletic ability and his willingness to put the work in to improve. Knows only one speed and gives his all on every possession, which shows up in the statbook as he is a dominant rebounder who could be one of the top rebounders in the league for years to come. An incredibly strong and athletic body. His strength at his age is incredible and he will surely get stronger as his body continues to fill out. Plays the game with amazing toughness, he’s a wrecking ball who loves contact in the paint, which leads to a high FT/rate. Runs the floor well. Excellent speed and agility in the open floor. His leaping explosiveness puts him in rare company. Defensively he gives a high effort level and does a solid job of staying out of foul trouble (fouled out of 1 game as a sophomore), but with his tremendous explosiveness, he should be a better shot blocker. He averaged just 1.2bpg against college kids... so most don't expect that to be a regular part of his defensive output. Still not a great shooter. Must become more comfortable shooting the ball by putting time in with practice/repetition, especially from the charity stripe, where he shot under 60% in both seasons at OU. Turnovers plagued him last season, jumping nearly 50% from the his freshman campaign, which is something to keep an eye on.
