Evan Griffin brings size, rim protection, and a local-bred motor to Troy's frontcourt
In the 2025-26 season, Troy freshman forward Evan Griffin has been a low-usage, high-efficiency frontcourt piece, averaging 2.2 points and 1.8 rebounds in 6.2 minutes while shooting 50.0% from the field. At 6-foot-9 and 230 pounds, his calling card is versatility: Troy’s staff has praised his ability to defend multiple positions thanks to his size, strength, and athleticism. He fits best as a developmental big who can add energy, length, and interior presence right away, especially for a team that values physical, switchable defenders with upside.
