"I know nothing is set in stone, but L.A. is a great opportunity and if they do want me I'll do the best in whatever way I can," said Griffin. "I know it's a little bit different [with the No. 1 pick in this draft]. I've heard rumblings that this draft is weak and stuff like that so it does put me at ease a little bit. But at the same time I know I still have to perform at the level expected of me."
