Through 25 games with the Pistons, Griffin understandably saw his rebound numbers (6.6 RPG) take a hit playing alongside a guy like Drummond, but he still co-existed without much trouble and added averages of 19.8 points and an improved 6.2 assists. A deal was ultimately put in place with the Pistons at the trade deadline, sending Griffin to pair with Andre Drummond as the top two guys in Detroit. However, with Chris Paul getting dealt to the Rockets, and the Clippers struggling to earn a playoff bid, the organization opted to search for trade partners to unload Griffin and his lengthy contract less than a year after the extension. Griffin signed a five-year, $171.2 million max extension with the Clippers in July of 2017, which was expected to lock the big man in as one of the team's key foundation pieces for the future. And since he's still an injury risk, he's even a gamble in deep formats before pick 150. Barring some catastrophic injury scenario for the Nets, there's probably not a world in which Griffin is fantasy relevant in standard leagues. The 32-year-old is officially a role piece on a contender, able to do a little bit of everything and knock down his easy looks. The days of Griffin running an offense and creating great looks for himself and his teammates at a high usage rate are over. During the 2021 offseason, Griffin agreed to return to Brooklyn on a one-year contract. That resulted in Griffin ranking just 174th in per-game production from his debut to the end of the season.
In 21.5 minutes per game, the six-time All-Star averaged 10.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists. Griffin made his team debut March 21, and he went on to appear in 26 games for the Nets in a significantly reduced role. A few days later, he signed with Brooklyn. Eventually, he agreed to a buyout with Detroit in early March. Griffin started last season injured and ineffective for the Pistons and was an extremely quick drop candidate for fantasy managers who took a chance on him.
He was chosen by the Los Angeles Clippers with the first overall pick. He was named Associated Press Player of the Year and declared for the 2009 NBA Draft, giving up two years of eligibility. In the Sweet 16 win over Syracuse, Griffin provided 30 points on 12-for-15 shooting and added 14 rebounds. He had 30 double-doubles in 35 games and helped the Sooners to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament. Griffin had back-to-back games of at least 20 points and 20 rebounds to become the first Big 12 player to do so. He dominated the glass and led the nation with 14.4 rebounds to go along with 22.7 points and 1.2 blocks. With his brother Taylor on the Oklahoma roster, Griffin decided to return for his sophomore season. He was able to play in 33 games and averaged 14.7 points and 9.1 rebounds. He sprained his left MCL against Kansas and two months later injured his right knee. As a freshman, the 6-foot-10 forward was productive despite a pair of knee injuries. Follow Griffin on Twitter and Instagram After winning four Oklahoma high school championships, Griffin stayed home to play for the Sooners. Griffin made the largest gift ever to the University of Oklahoma by a former Sooners basketball player, contributing to a planned addition to the university's Lloyd Noble Performance Center. He's created a multimedia venture called Mortal Media with Ryan Kalil of the NFL's Carolina Panthers.
