Filler: he was a binaries bonafide sharp shooter last season and looked like a really good young player but come to find out today he only player like 8 minutes? What’s up with that?

They've got like 15 wing players on that Hawks squad. Can't give minutes to everyone.

Seriously though, note that Griffin's minutes took a dip from 20.4 per game to 16.3 per game after Quin Snyder was hired last season. Perhaps Snyder just prefers other players ahead of Griffin in the rotation, and feels like it's OK to bring him along more slowly at this stage.
