Julian Strawther's 'impressive' workout with Denver Nuggets led to 1st-round selection

Connor Griffin joins the Gonzaga Nation podcast to talk about Strawther and much more

Julian Strawther was widely projected to be a second-round pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.

So why did the former Gonzaga star sneak into the first round?

Denver Nuggets assistant video director Connor Griffin said Strawther's pre-draft workout with the Nuggets was impressive, and he has "one of the best floaters in the country right now." The Nuggets ultimately traded up to draft Strawther with pick No. 29.

Griffin, who played for Gonzaga from 2013-15, joins Dan Dickau on the latest episode of the Gonzaga Nation podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about Strawther, Drew Timme's fit in the NBA and much more.
