Duke freshman AJ Griffin will enter the NBA draft and hire an agent, ending his collegiate career with the Blue Devils, the school announced on Sunday.
“AJ was one of the best shooters in the nation and his skillset is exactly what NBA teams are looking for,” former Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a statement on Sunday. “He is a remarkable young man that comes from a beautiful family and we’re certainly going to miss them. AJ showed up every day with a smile on his face and his positive energy was infectious. We appreciate everything that he did for our program and know that great things will happen for him.
