WATCH: AJ Griffin shows off shooting, ball-handling skills at CAA Pro Day

AJ Griffin is shaping up to be a potential lottery pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. Ahead of the event, he’s trying to improve his stock — and he put on a show at CAA Pro Day on Saturday.

Griffin worked out in front of NBA executives in Southern California as he tries to stay in the lottery conversation. The former Duke standout is projected to go in the top 14 of the draft, and he got to showcase his talents on a big stage less than a month before teams make their picks.

More on AJ Griffin, 2022 NBA Draft

Griffin, who finished fifth on the Blue Devils roster in scoring in 2021-22, has seen his name come up in multiple mock drafts. ESPN has him going No. 8 overall to the New Orleans Pelicans, CBS Sports projects him to be the No. 12 overall selection to the Oklahoma City Thunder and USA Today shows him heading to the Portland Trail Blazers as the No. 7 overall pick.

Griffin averaged 10.4 points per game last season to help lead Duke to the Final Four in Mike Krzyzewski’s final season before retirement. He also shot 44% from three-point territory, which is a stat that could help keep his draft stock high. He’s one of five former Blue Devils stars to declare for the draft, joining Paolo Banchero, Mark Williams, Trevor Keels and Wendell Moore Jr.

Out of high school, Griffin was a four-star recruit and the No. 23 player in the nation from the class of 2021, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. The 2022 NBA Draft is coming up June 23 from the Barclays Center in New York. Earlier this month, the NBA Draft Lottery took place, and the Orlando Magic hold the No. 1 overall selection.
