Sharp is Mike Bibby re-deaux. Haggerty is Iverson. Griggs is Isiaha Thomas
âŠ
im not sure with thomas you are talking about, but Griggs has 6 inches on the juniorâŠand the dad was way tougher and grittier than griggsâŠ
the player that i think comps really well with griggs is actually ihis mentor⊠hardenâŠ
âŠelite elite level scorer⊠but lacks top tier athleticism
Well⊠Speaking of size wise hmmm⊠Harden is 6â5 lefty and Griggs is 6 ft righty.
Isiah Thomas HOF player from the Detroit Pistons is in no way related to Thomas who had few good yrs w Celtics b4 injuries derailed him.
I can go look up but Iâm pretty confident that is the case.

I am correct. People always assumed they were related, but they are not. Ok ty!
Yes I knew they werenât. Was letting Pesik know they werenât.
lol we wont know his real height till he enters college/goes pro
but mikey williams is listed at 6â3 and there wasnt a 3inch difference between them
I would say Griggs is a little taller than 6-1, maybe 6-2.
That said he is one of the best ball handlers around, a true point guard who is getting better with his outside shot

i edited it before your responded, and literally google âmikey williams heightâ they give you a resonse
Going to be interesting to see if the Griggs recruitment gets more personal. I think Arceneaux is the most important target with his 2 way game. He elite on offense and defense.
Harden is not an elite athlete? Could have fooled me after watching him for past 13 years. Some people miss it because of his body type but he has top-level athleticism in every way that matters for a basketball player (ie lateral quickness, first step, quick twitch explosiveness). Donât believe me? Just google his combine results:
No projected lottery player was more surprising at the combine than James Harden. Many scouting reports on Harden say that heâs not athletic, but his results say otherwise. First, he recorded a 37â vertical and reached the same maximum height (11â8.5â) as Blake Griffin. Second, he ran a 3.13 sprint, which was only one hundredth behind speedster Ty Lawson, and repped 17 on the bench press. Itâs been reported that the Thunder are considering him at #3. With no more reservations about his athleticism, is this enough for Harden to leapfrog Rubio?

Yeah⊠Harden is actually athletic. His poor defense was due to him conserving energy for the offense of end. He can actually be a decent defender when he wants to. You canât tell me he couldnât play for CKS if he had to.
When coach was with the Rockets he would play his best players regardless of their defense. It was until he came to UH and became the coach and not the substitute when he emphasized it and noticed it like okay.
I tried to play fullcourt basketball again for a work league about 2 years ago and was doing good to stand after running down the court 7-8 times. I would come home all banged up like I had played a football game. Anyway, my years of sitting on the couch watching the game had eroded the appreciation for the conditioning and high impact nature of the game. Harden may not be Shawn Kemp\ Dominique Williams on the athletic scale, but not many people are. Did Harden maybe play with a little weight on him? Maybe, but you canât do what he does, break people off the dribble and take contact without being a heck of an athlete - especially at year 13 if that is the number.
The basketball experience taught me not to judge running backs that hop out of bounds before taking a hit. I forgot how physical the game can be. Let a 240-280 pound person hit you and let me know how it feels the next day. You may use discretion and hop out of bounds, too.
