OT: Gavin Griffiths

[Greene Rice FIG]

GO GO GAVIN!

GAME 2 BOSTON UNIVERSITY: Go Go Gavin

He is the G Force. He has the G Factor. He makes the G Shot. Some of those shots last night were approaching the G Spot. His name is Gavin Griffiths. Just toss the Princeton game. Gavin rode pine through much of the Princeton game as he looked a bit lost. Not the most opportune game even for a...

Gavin would have to shoot 3 pointers at a 50% clip in order to make up for all the bad defense and rebounding he gave us. He reminds me of Chris Remley but Chris was a better shooter

You must mean the last two years of Chris Remley. He didn’t shoot much better than GG his first couple of years, but he improved. By the end, he shot over 50% from the field as a perimeter player, had about three assists a game, seldom turned the ball over and actually played pretty solid defense. Red Auerbach did draft him, even though there were more rounds back then. Maybe the moral of the story is that it is too soon to tell if GG will develop into a solid player.

Looks like Gavin played him self right into the last seat on the bench?

Wow that was AWFUL. Just stood there and let them come take it out his hands, led to a breakaway dunk

Fightin’ Gavins have big lead at highly ranked Creighton late first half. Nebraska can play some D and are being super aggressive causing turnovers.

 

[SBP]

Nebraska looks pretty damn good! Yikes

Wonder where he’ll be next season. St. Joe’s?

Very veteran and physical team. Will be a tough matchup for us.

GG is too soft for big time hoops

GG on bench hasn't hardly cheered at all for his teammates. Looks real unhappy-- maybe I'm wrong but he looks down.

I genuinely don’t understand what is going on with GG. kid was a stud in high school against future D1 competition.

They got that kid from Wisky , sharp shooter never stops moving . Tough D.

Sometimes players just don't translate at the next level no matter what their rank in HS. Happens all the time - think Savon Huggins in football for us.

Here's what I was referring to. Dude needs to go low major or D2. This was the only time I saw him in, although I missed quite a bit of the second half.

Piss poor attitude. Last year he never went down the line for hand shakes when came out. Head case. Kinda spoiled brat vibe .🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ll just say this - as of right now - people that were critical of pike for misusing and/or not getting enough out of GG, well here he is with another good coach and it’s the same player…… .

In some ways I feel bad for the kid - while Nebraska seemed like a good fit based on how they played last year, Nebraska has retooled themselves as a very defensive minded team filled with smart older players - they literally couldn’t be a WORSE fit for him. He left RU for another RU!!

Plus they brought Essegian in to shoot threes
