Eddie Griffin was Seton Hall’s shot-blocking wrecking ball
In the 2000-01 season, Eddie Griffin averaged 17.8 points, 10.8 rebounds, and a school-record 4.4 blocks per game for Seton Hall, giving the Pirates an elite interior anchor with real two-way force. He was a high-motor forward whose size, rim protection, and rebounding jumped off the page, and his one-and-done impact was strong enough to leave a lasting mark in the record books. The caution flag: reports from the era also described him as a locker-room concern, so the talent was undeniable, but fit and handling the personality risk mattered just as much as the stat line.
