    I was told by a couple of Hawks fans last year that his motivation is highly volatile. Doesn’t give 100% all the time. Some KPJ or Royce White vibes going on there. Bad defender thus far. If you look at his highlights, a crazy portion of his makes are just bad or unnecessarily difficult shots.

    Hawks are not dumping him for the #44 pick if there are not significant issues with him. They are re-tooling and could use such a player.

    Still, a 20 yr old shooter for a second round pick? I’ll take a flyer. We needed a kind of 3rd string PF to replace Uncle Jeff, maybe he can be that. Could surprise us if he connects with Udoka. Great deal by Stone.

    He only counts as a shooter if he actually plays. But sure, what the hell, I wasn't invested in #44 anyway.

    They're saying that when Snyder took over as coach, he looked past Griffin in favor of vets. Who knows?

    Him and Cam will be fighting over the ball, because he ain’t passing AT ALL.

    “Highlights” are meh…..

    Reed Sheppard will teach him how to shoot again :)

    On the other hand, Ime must be screaming at Stones that I want more vets and not another 20 year old.

    Let's be clear here. Claiming that Beyonce promotes Satan is crazy. Like really really really crazy.

    Not every team gives young prospects half a decade to show what they can do

    I like this move by stone .. which probably means it will backfire somehow

    good buy low move . Has shown strong potential

    I know he can shoot

    But is he more stable than Royce White?

    Will he fly?

    I guess Summer League is Griffin's chance to prove he's worth keeping around.
