Chase Griffin (born August 3, 1983 in Redmond , Washington state ) is an American basketball player who, after studying in his home country, has played as a professional in Germany since 2008, except for a one-year break in Finland .

Career

Griffin was active during his studies at the evangelical Pepperdine University in Malibu, California for the university team Waves in the West Coast Conference of the NCAA Division I from 2003 to 2007. In his senior year he was the top scorer within his team and spent most of the minutes on the field.

It was not until January 2008 that Griffin signed his first professional contract with Phoenix Hagen in the ProA , the second German division. In the 2008/09 season , the Hagen club was promoted to the first basketball league . In their first first division season, the team, led by Griffin as top scorer, achieved relegation in the BBL. For the 2010/11 season , Griffin was committed by the table neighbor and BBL founding member from Gießen . After an injury at the beginning of the season, which otherwise went well for Giessen, he came back to a series of defeats for the traditional club. After a coach change and the re-engagement of more Americans, Griffin's playing time, who also suffered from health problems at the end of the season, decreased so that the new coach Steven Key did without him in individual games. For the 2011/12 season, Griffin moved to Torpan Pojat in the Finnish capital Helsinki , where he played with the former Skyliners Frankfurt player Kimmo Muurinen .

For the 2012/2013 season, Griffin went back to Germany, where he played for the ProA promoted Oettinger Rockets in Gotha . After relegation to the 14th and third from last place in the table, the team reached the play-offs for promotion in the following ProA 2013/14 in seventh place , in which they failed in the first round on the later promoted Crailsheim Merlins. Griffin moved to the first division relegated RASTA from Vechta , but they only took tenth place in the ProA 2014/15 . With the new coach Andreas Wagner , it was not only enough for first place after the main round in the ProA 2015/16 , but also to move into the play-off final and thus to return to the top division. Griffin remained in the ProA and moved to the first division relegated Merlins from Crailsheim .

In the 2017/18 season he was promoted to the first division with Crailsheim as runner-up in the 2nd Bundesliga ProA. Griffin contributed an average of 12.1 points per encounter in 38 appearances over the course of the season.

Griffin remained in the 2nd Bundesliga, however, by joining the newly promoted Artland Dragons from Quakenbrück during the 2018 summer break . With 15.6 points per game, he was the best scorer of the Artländer in the 2nd Bundesliga ProA in the 2018/19 season.
