Griffin’s stock is rising due to his combination of size, skill, and IQ. He plays with a calm, controlled pace and has a natural scoring touch that projects well as he keeps maturing physically and athletically. The rankings outlook is strong because he has one of the more translatable games in the group. He can fit next to talent, play multiple roles, and still produce. As he adds strength and assertiveness, he becomes a heavy favorite to climb up.
Griffin is one of those mid‑tier guys who’s catching attention because the tools are there and the fundamentals give him a solid base to build on. He’s got the size and mobility to hold his own inside, rebounds with effort, and shows flashes of touch around the rim. Nothing flashy yet, but you can see the progress. Griffin’s steady improvement makes him one to keep tabs on.
Griffin is a solid big man who fits naturally at the power forward spot. He can score inside with touch and strength, while also stepping out to face up and attack off the dribble. His willingness to battle around the rim provides steady rebounding presence around the rim.
Developmental Focus: Griffin will benefit from sharpening his back-to-the-basket footwork and embracing a more agile style of play. Adding those elements will round out his skill set and make him a tougher interior presence.
Griffin brought post-up offense, catching low and attacking the paint while finishing through contact. His willingness to battle inside provided Sheridan with balance against Sylvan Hills’ guard-heavy attack.
Griffin anchors Sheridan with sturdy rebounding, toughness in the paint, and strong finishes inside. He roams the paint well on both ends, allowing guards to press and wings to gamble, knowing the back line is secure. As Sheridan’s identity leans on Dawson’s best attributes: physicality and defensive control, Griffin’s impact should translate to wins and a strong case for All-Conference.
Dawson’s motor anchors his rim protection, challenging shots without needing to block every attempt. Offensively, his drop-step put-back game now features a soft-touch finish, and added face-up moves with flash cuts give make a better offensive threat.
