AJ Griffin News
Atlanta Hawks small forward AJ Griffin finds himself among the starting five for Friday's contest against the Lakers, marking his second consecutive start in place of De'Andre Hunter (ankle). Griffin's minutes did not drastically alter Wednesday, although he scuffled from the field to the tune of a 2-for-10 shooting performance; his four points marked his lowest output since Nov. 28. Working in Griffin's favor is that L.A. is yielding the fourth-most PPG this season (117.6) as the contest's projected total is the highest on the nine-game slate. The rookie has averaged 10.5 points in just 21.7 minutes during his rookie year, an indication of the scoring level that could come as he grows comfortable in the pro game.
Atlanta Hawks rookie forward A.J. Griffin (foot) sat out once again for the team's Summer League game against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday. He is dealing with right foot discomfort and has yet to play a game in Las Vegas. It seems likely, now that the tournament is winding down, that Griffin won't make it onto the court at all in Vegas. The 18-year-old was selected 16th overall this year after playing one season at Duke. The Hawks are loaded on the wing right now so Griffin is unlikely to see much playing time as a rookie, but he offers a lot of three-point shooting upside once he gets his opportunities.
