Eddie Griffin

Griffin had an inconsistent season that leaves his role for 2006-07 in doubt. He won the starting center job at one point last year and had several double-digit rebound games. He seems a poor fit for the T-Wolves because his best assets are his ability to score (especially outside for a big man) and block shots, but the T-Wolves need him to focus on hitting the boards and playing around the basket. If he gets playing time, he'll get blocked shots and rebounds. However, don't expect him to return to 60+ three-point attempts from a few years ago which really made him a valuable center. The T-Wolves have better talent from the outside (especially if Troy Hudson is healthy) and want him to focus on defense. Yet another turbulent offseason away from the court (A lawsuit was filed against him after a car wreck last season in which he hit a parked vehicle and was alleged to be watching pornography while driving.) shows any hot stretch is at risk for non-playing reasons.
