He hit on two undrafted guys. I’m talking about his draft record. I’d say almost every gm would have taken Garland or Hunter with number 4. This numbnuts moves down and picks two major misses for us. NAW was given away for peanuts and Jax was a complete bust for us. Add all the other very productive players picked after Kira was drafted and it looks bad. That’s alot of misses. And it’s still hard to forget his Bennett pick with the Cavs. And the fact he would have traded Haliburton if he made it one more spot. DD is the pick I liked the most that he’s made in the first.

What about Trey and Hawkins? NAW wasn’t given away for peanuts, he was apart of the CJ trade and you can’t knock griff for NAW when he drafted him. I count 2 misses, Jax and Kira. Out of 6 1sts. That’s a pretty good hit rate.

If he was worth anything Griff would have hung on to him. I’m sure he was in the trade to just match salaries. The Blazers didn’t want him. They traded him soon after for a player that was out for the year and on an expiring deal. So I stand corrected, that is actually less than peanuts….

It’s great that he finally developed into a rotation level player on his 4th team but hey lets give credit to Griffs drafting skills when he passed up an all star level pg that we could really use right now.

And the book is still out on Hawkins. I wanted Whitmore during the draft. It’s still early so we will see how that plays out.
