I did not know Taylor Griffen was drafted by the Harlem Globtroters?

Starting in 2007, the Globetrotters have conducted an annual "draft" a few days before the NBA draft, in which they select players and invite them to join the team. The team does not speak beforehand to the players they select (some of whom are not even known as basketball players, such as soccer stars Lionel Messi and Tim Howard), and only a few of the selected players eventually agree to join the Globetrotters.[19]

Notable draft picks by the Globetrotters include: Sun Mingming (2007), Brent Petway (2007), Patrick Ewing, Jr. (2008), Sonny Weems (2008), Taylor Griffin (2009), Tim Howard (2009), Mark Titus (2010), Lionel Messi (2011), Jermaine Abrahams (2011), Paul Sturgess (2011), Andrew Goudelock (2011), Mariano Rivera (2013), and Brittney Griner (2013).[19][20]

Sure it was publicity because of his brother, but still an honor.

He, Taylor Griffin, was actually the first pick in the 2009 draft. Family pulled the rare double draft first pick.

They're looking at Marcus smart for 2014.
