GET TO KNOW DEDRIC GRIFFIN

Dedric Griffin attends North Central High School in Indianapolis, I was able to get a hold of Dedric Griffin‏’s head AAU coach. This is what he had to say about him.

“Dedric has been our best player over the past three years while averaging somewhere close to 20 points per contest in the summer. He plays out of position at North Central high school since he's their tallest player on a team loaded with guards, but that has helped him learn to guard taller inside players and rebound better. At 6'5" he's very versatile, can play the 1, 2 or 3 spots, even though he won’t blow you away with any particular skill. He has an unusual ability to maneuver his body in different ways to get to the basket and he finishes very well when in the paint. He's long, and because of this is able to defend both smaller and taller guards on defense. I don't like to compare people with NBA players, but he reminds me a little of Paul Pierce. He has a little bit of William Barton (a top recruit in the class of 2010) in him too. I strongly believe that colleges are missing the boat when it comes to Dedric and I think part of it is because of the position he plays and because of the other players at North Central. I believe he can play on the small to mid - major Division I level.”

Note: He has to play behind 6’4” Terone Johnson (Purdue) ranked 46 in 2010, 6’3” D’Vauntes Smith – Rivera top twenty 2012 recruit, 5’11” Ronnie Johnson and 6’3” Patrick Ingram both mid – major prospects.
