De'Shaune Griffin gives Iona a steady, multi-category guard who can finish stretches strong
In the 2025-26 season, Griffin has been a reliable late-season rotation piece for Iona, starting eight of his last nine regular-season games and posting four double-digit scoring efforts while averaging 4.9 points and 2.8 rebounds[1]. ESPN lists him at 5.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game, but his real value is his versatility and willingness to do the connective work a staff can trust[3]. He looks like a fit for teams that need a guard who can defend, rebound, and stay composed in meaningful minutes rather than just chase shots[1][3].
