A.J. Griffin is the fifth Duke player this spring to enter his name in the NBA draft. The Blue Devils’ forward made it official on Sunday.
Griffin follows sophomore center Mark Williams, freshman forward Paolo Banchero, junior wing Wendell Moore and freshman guard Trevor Keels in submitting their names to the draft this week.
Griffin, a 6-foot-6, 222-pound guard from Ossining, N.Y., started the final 25 games of the year for Duke, averaging 10.4 points. He was dangerous from behind the 3-point line, shooting 44 percent from deep. He connected on six made 3s at Syracuse on Feb. 26.
