Reeve isn’t naïve to Griffin’s injury history. She told the local media after the draft that the Lynx staff will meet with Griffin (daughter of former NBA head coach Adrian Griffin and sister of former NBA small forward AJ Griffin) once she gets in town to evaluate what the next steps may look like.[/I][/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT][I]“I was just thrilled for Aubrey because I knew that that's something she really wanted,” Auriemma said. “She comes from a family of people that have been there already and done that, and all she needs is an opportunity. I think it's going to take some time, and hopefully, Minnesota has a long-range plan because she's not 100% and if she goes to training camp with the idea that, ‘I have to make the team this year or I'm out,’ I'd be disappointed in that. So hopefully Cheryl has a long-range plan for her. And sometimes, you know, you get a steal in the draft, and who knows, you know, this could be one of them.”[/I][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
