Articles about Taylor Griffin
July 30, 2010
Taylor Griffin - The only thing Taylor Griffin did in his rookie year was go bald.
Griffin played only 32 NBA minutes in his rookie year, alongside 12 games on assignment in the D-League. Down there, he averaged 28.8 minutes, 9.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.3 steals per game, shooting 44% from the field and 24% from three point range. Griffin has the makings of a good Shane Battier-esque little things type of player, but just making it to the roster next year would be an achievement. He's not a scorer, nor can he dribble. Griffin was waived by the Suns last week, and is now looking for work.
