Nebraska basketball is celebrating the addition of a Big Ten transfer. Gavin Griffiths is joining the Huskers after spending his freshman season with Rutgers.
Head coach Fred Hoiberg believes Griffiths has the potential to thrive as a Cornhuskers.
“Gavin is an elite shooter with deep range. Spacing is so important in our system, and his skillset fits what we are looking for. He handles the ball well and possesses the length and athleticism to give us flexibility and positional size in our lineup. Gavin has a year of Big Ten experience under his belt, and you could see his confidence grow over the course of last season, especially in the last month when he shot 37 percent from 3-point range.”
Griffiths played in all 32 games for Rutgers and averaged 5.8 points and 2.2 rebounds per game. You can find a photo gallery of his freshman season below.
