In his only college-level season, Griffin averaged 10 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist in 24 minutes of play. Those aren't bad numbers, but what many reports have said is Griffin has solid athleticism, a very strong frame and a ton of natural talent. This is what makes him a unique player among the prospects
