Alan Griffin entering the draft, will sign with an agent

No surprise.

Hope he performs well / shoots well in the pre-draft workouts, to at least put himself in position. Otherwise, hard to imagine him garnering much consideration.

 

[Scott11]

I wish him all the best but I cannot see a scenario where he gets drafted. I think he has less of a chance of getting drafted than Oshae did.
One wonders why he feels the need to sign with an agent. Hope his Dad is advising him and has some inside dope.

 

[pearl31]

looks like he's signing w an agent too

 

[Cuse1055]

Too bad Griff, Kadary and Woody never got to play in front of fans in the Dome.

 

[Grbac]

Griff has a chance. Athletic, can shoot from any level, blocks shots for a guard/forward. His defense will likely be better suited to NBA.
I wish him well and really hoped that his year here could have been more fulfilling. Good luck.

 

[Cusesky8214]

Runner about to have a meltdown!

 

[rrlbees]

Good luck G. The nba will be a tough go right now but you can play in the g league or overseas and get paid.

Jimmy Jr. announcing by the end of the day or do we have to wait until tomorrow?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

He'll get a 2 way deal next year thanks to his dad's connections, and then it'll be up to him to see what he can make of his career.

 

[djcon57]

No surprise here...good luck to him.

would be shocked if Q comes back as well

 

[MikeSU02]

Good luck, to AG. I believe this is the right move for him. He'll end up playing professionally somewhere.

 

[Scott11]

I will always look back on AG as perhaps the most mystifying player to ever play for the Orange. Trick or treat does not do him justice. Smart, well spoken kid who took some of the dumbest shots I've ever seen. Talented passer who refused to move the ball. Tremendous athlete who hated to go to the basket. Fantastic dunker who barely tried to dunk. Great free throw shooter who couldn't get to the line. Great shooter with his feet set off the pass who would rather shoot off the dribble off balance.
Maybe he will do the unexpected once again and play in the NBA. Rooting for him.

 

[elimunelson]

best of luck to him. a job is a job. We may not think he's ready but he's going to try and live his dream of playing a kids game for a living.

hats off to him. hope it works out

He went up for a dunk against Bryant and came up about a foot short... Right then I knew he was not what we thought...

 

[Briancuse]

Gleague more than likely.

 

[Orangezoo]

Given his Dad's experience and connections hopefully AG can have all the right resources and take the right steps to be successful. It's clear he came in hoping to elevate his game and market himself for the next level. While it didn't play out as he fully intended I wouldn't be surprised if after a few years he got his shot.

Wish him all the best and thank him for everything he gave in his time here.

You really should post **spoiler alert** on stuff like this...we have people that only want info from Waters/McAllister/Ditota and you probably just wrecked their day.

 

[HOFCeluck]

The only surprise is he wasted no time bring an agent

 

[AlaskaSU]

As far as we know Q does not have an agent. He is leaving the door open. Playing for next years Cuse could be an attractive option.

 

[Newhouser]

His Dad may be connected like Tony Soprano but 2 way contracts are too valuable to waste as a favor. I was never part of the fan club, but certainly wish him well.

 

[GoSU96]

uh, yeah, that’s crazy

 

[Dcuse]

This one really is a bummer. I think we need to hit the portal for another forward even if Jimmy comes also.

 

[SUOrangeSU]

His dad will get him at the very least on a g-league squad.

naaa, we're set at the 3 (Benny, Cole, Jimmy Jr) with Q possibly coming back (dont see him coming back to fight for minutes but)
