After AJ Griffin’s first collegiate start Jon Scheyer who is currently the Associate Head Coach to Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski had this say to David Shumate who is Duke’s play by play announcer for Duke Men’s Basketball

AJ was terrific, I can’t say enough about his work ethic - his attitude is incredible.”

“according to David Shumate’s social media account on Twitter!

Why?

Because Jon Scheyer was acting as Head Coach because Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski missed the Wake Forest game because a non covid -19 related virus.

The next we see AJ Griffin will be Saturday as Duke host NC State at Cameron Indoor Stadium at 2:00pm in the afternoon will he be in starting lineup yet again for Duke?

Right now I don’t the answer to that question but AJ Griffin certainly deserves the opportunity to be in the lineup yet again after playing 36 minute after he was 8-11 on field goals 3-5 from three point range , collected 4 rebounds dished out 1 assists, blocked 1 shot.
