Dr. Dunkenstein Wants to be a Celtic


June 8, 1980

Darrell Griffith doesn't have a choice. But if he did, the Louisville basketball star would like to be drafted by the Celtics in Tuesday's NBA draft. "Based on all the factors - being the Celtics have the No. 1 pick and they have already established themselves as a winner - I would like to go to Boston," Griffith said yesterday after being met at Logan Airport by agent Bob Woolf. 

"And I'm not saying that to cut down the other teams. It's just that it's nice to go to a team with a winning status. "But if I went to Utah or any other team, I would be going with the same attitude - to win. That's what I want to achieve, no matter where I go." Griffith said he has had no contact with the Celtics and wasn't in Boston to do so. Instead, he said he and Woolf  were going to Cape Cod for the weekend to relax and discuss the draft. Utah, however, has contacted Griffith and indicated the 6-foot-3 guard would be its choice if he's available when the Jazz pick second in the first round.
