On Griffiths's book page 166 first paragraph he said "
It's not merely that you don't know all three components of L; there simply aren't three components—a particle just cannot have a determinate angular momentum vector, any more than it can simultaneously have a determinate position and momentum. If Lz has a well- defined value, then Lx and Ly do not."
