OT: Gavin Griffiths

[PiscatawayMike]

Still a horrible FT shooter (58%)... rarely creates shots for himself that will put him on the line... has only taken 12 FTs all season.

 

[-RUFAN4LIFE-]

Yay, beat up on the two worst teams in the conference.

When a Rutgers player does that they don't even get a co-player of the week...lol.

24 points vs East Carolina on 9-16 fg, 5-7 3pt fg, 6 reb, 4 blocks

Seems he developed into a pretty good player in his junior year.

 

[RUDiddy777]

It's clear that the rankings gurus missed the boat here. He never should have been ranked in the Top 100 let alone given a 5* star.

Think he always had the tools - but the game never slowed down for him and he looked like a deer in headlights. Seems like it’s clicking for him - who knows, maybe it would have come faster playing alongside Dylan.

Who knows, we really need to add a sniper next year.

They need more than that, an actual big, 2 snipers, a quality PG.

Didnt he have an eye injury his senior year in high school. Maybe that effected things who knowd

It was his junior year.
He averaged 24 points a game in his senior year, so the eye might not have been the problem adjusting to the college game.
Some talented players don't produce right away moving from HS to college, but eventual the talent shows ,( as I know you know . I don't hold a candle to your knowledge when talking college ball. But that doesn't stop me from disagreeing with you at times )

I think Lino is going to be a very good PG and Dorian might give us a solid shooter. But agree with everything else and our big situation is horrendous and needs to be addressed urgently.

Actually we need two bigs since we really have none.

The fact he averages more than two blocks per game is the most startling stat.

 

[RU-ROCS]

Happy for the kid, but these numbers as a senior, especially only 36% from three for a guy who was billed as one of the nation's best 3-point shooters in his freshman class, are nothing to crow about especially because he is playing outside the power 4. J. Mike, Buchanan and Dylan Grant all shoot it better from 3 playing in the Big 10.

Isn't he a junior?
And I was puzzled by the initial post on X crowing about the numbers. They are "just OK". The OP took a beating on X.

What does he mean by next level? He hasn’t been a serious NBA prospect since his first college bball game.

With Simpson and Griff playing
Rutgers would be a shoe-in to tale the NC
and 1&2 in the draft

I think it's was just a good line.

I don't see any humor or wit in your post. Just a hater comment.

Doesn’t sound like a joke
Sounds like a guy mad he transferred out but he was right to - good move for him

I don't think you have any idea what a joke sounds like. You're really reading way too much into a one sentence joke that lots of others understood to be a joke.

I see you don't know how the quote function works.

Which was a “good move for him”

When he transferred out of Rutgers or when he transferred out again out of Nebraska after riding their bench?

Just curious.

listen. Good for the kid that he finally developed into a decent player.

But frankly we don’t know if transferring had anything to do with it - transferring could have just as easily hindered his development (compared to staying in one place and developing)

Seems what he needed was time .

 

[RUfan1977]

Well I was in the right city.

I hope I speak for most Rutgers fans when I say Temple/St. Joes, really what’s the difference.
