Expert Analysis
Steve Quattrocchi | Prep Hoops Scout
One of the highest scoring players in the state last season that you’ve likely never heard of. Griffin is capable of attacking the rim or knocking down threes. He can score in transition or in the half court. Griffin is a contender for regional Player of the Year and Gallatin could sneak into Rupp Arena if they get a good regional draw.

Griffin is an outstanding scorer and playmaker. He utilizes his smooth handle and change of pace to get to the basket, where he can finish in traffic with either hand. His fadeaway mid-range and step back 3-point jumpers are difficult to defend. He collects assists by delivering accurate and timely passes.

One of two teams in the event to go unbeaten, KY Rise earned two members on the all-tournament team. Griffin had an excellent showing in the final game of the weekend, knocking down four 3-pointers in the first half alone. Also showing the ability to attack a closeout, Griffin works well off Rondon and the more physical forwards on the KY Rise team.

I could’ve gone with a handful of players as my second spotlight from the Kentucky Rise team, but I went with Griffin who came out the gates firing. A nasty drive and finish through contact early in the game led to a wing 3-pointer and his confidence grew as the game progressed. Griffin has some real creation juice on the ball, best when he can attack a closeout against defenders who are already in motion. A dagger 3-pointer was knocked down by Griffin after one of his teammates came up with a loose ball after a broken play. Hoping to see more of this Ky Rise team tomorrow and the rest of the spring, they have some talented pieces from northern Kentucky.
