Who was better: Prime Darrell Griffith or Prime Jordan Clarkson?

[Thee Jazz Fan]

I voted for Darrell Griffith too. In 1983-84 Griffith led the league in 3-point percentage (36.1) and most 3-pointers made (91). In 1984-85 he broke the single season record (which he held at the time) for 3 pointers made (92). So at one point, compared to his contemporaries, Griffith did demonstrate an elite skill. I also agree with Release the Kraken that he was a better defender than Clarkson.

Jc will probably have the better overall career as Grif was slowed by a foot injury his prime was super short.

Good catch TIMK. I don’t have the photographic memory of DH but I do vaguely remember that he had a pretty short run.

Crazy people think it's close. Grif by a mile.

Dr. Dunkenstein had a 48" vertical. Case closed.

It was a huge bummer that injuries ruined the back half of Griffith's career.

You’re right, Dr Dunkenstein, how could I have forgotten? 48” for real?
