Wasn't Burton listed at 6'4 his first few years at ISU? Didn't he play the 4?
He can be a small ball 4 like Burton. He's got the length and body to guard a lot of 4's and then you can flip that match up on the other end, when a Forward has to guard THT.
Yes, I don't expect THT to play a lot of PF but if Prohm wants to go small and in certain matchups it is an option. Griffen could really excel in that role to much like Ejim.

Plus he is only 17 so who knows, maybe he grows another inch or two.
Wouldn’t be surprised by that at all. That wingspan to height ratio is alien in nature the way it is now.
Note Samuell Williamson with a mention of ISU from this past weekends Pangos All-American Camp from Bossi.
"Samuell Williamson is still being a bit underrated by most of the recruiting industry and he's not yet a big enough priority for most of the programs recruiting him.
A top 50 2019 wing from Texas, I ask what's not to like here? He shoots with range and efficiency, he has a polished floor game, he's a good athlete, has great positional size at around 6-foot-7 and he can get things done within a system.
Kansas has been on him pretty tough, Texas has really turned things up, Louisville has come in pretty strong and Iowa State could be seen as a bit of a darkhorse. TCU, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Kansas State, Ohio State, Florida and more have offered and are getting more involved for but this is a kid who coaches should be willing to go to the mat for."

He is 240 lbs, but I'd like to see him at 225-230 at ISU.
This is kind of how THT and Wigginton's recruitment started out when we got mentioned...
FWIW. Williamson's mom went to KU and his brother just graduated from there as well.
Texas is a difficult place to get talent especially with the 3 instate Big 12's programs and Okie schools close. I am more surprised ISU hasn't made in roads into Minnesota yet considering all the targets with ISU interest over the past 7 years.
Then again before last year the same thought could have been had with recruiting Illinois and we'll saw how that works out. The staff wouldn't be offering prospects if they didn't think there was a legit chance and just need one to start the in roads.
Also, see one Kenny Pratt. He was listed at 6'5" but I always thought that was pretty generous.
