Currently, she is playing club ball for ABA. Griffin is just a complete player that will give you what you need, making contributions in every statistical category. She scores crucial buckets, snags big rebounds, creates steals by slipping in passing lanes, and one of her most impressive qualities is the way she is constantly looking up the floor and finding her teammates up ahead.
