Honestly Griffin just didn’t have an NBA level game and mindset.


Is that true? I remember like 3 seasons ago he had that nice surge as I guess a rookie. Can’t believe that’s all they got for him. Not even a good 2nd.


Some people were pissed we didn’t draft this guy


lol he was never gonna last in the nba

ESPN sucks

I'm sorry but Bronny James at this age is not an NBA player. Dudes that average 4 pts off the bench in D1 ball don't get drafted.

Bronny isn't even a better player in college than Steve Wojciechowski was ffs

Dude is literally the 6th ranked PG in the 2nd round. And that's a generous ESPN ranking.

Right, when he's not better than anyone sitting in that green room right now who actually produced in college

It's a joke. But I guess when you're rich the world caters to you instead of reality.

I'm guessing some here wanted Flipowski. Can we start calling him flipper now, to save time?

Who's old enough to remember the Ni**erbockers. Somebody really put that in a newspaper. It really was said. That wouldn't fly today. The knicks were the first team when every player was black.
