Oklahoma's Griffin Set To Announce Decision On Future

POSTED: 5:27 am HST April 7, 2009

(Sports Network) - Oklahoma standout forward Blake Griffin will hold a news conference Tuesday to announce his future plans.

Griffin, who has already captured the Naismith Award and Robertson Trophy as the top player in college basketball, would likely be among the top picks in the NBA Draft if he leaves school early.

The 6-foot-10 sophomore led the Sooners in scoring and rebounding this past season, averaging 22.7 points and 14.4 rebounds in 35 games. He also had a team-best 41 blocked shots and finished third on the squad with 80 assists, while shooting 65.4 percent from the field.

Oklahoma finished the campaign with a record of 30-6 and reached the South Regional final of the NCAA Tournament, bowing out to eventual national champion North Carolina.

Griffin established an Oklahoma record with 25 double-doubles during the regular season and set a Big 12 mark with 13 games of at least 20 points and 15 rebounds.

The Oklahoma City native also considered leaving school after his freshman season, when he averaged 14.7 points and 9.1 rebounds.
