best player from 09 draft: Harden, Curry or Griffin?

Curry can go cold but he won't compound it by turning it over and over.

Also gives more effort on the defensive end.

 

The major difference between Harden and Curry's game is that Harden gets to the free throw line better, a lot better and also Curry's ankle issues.

I'd say Curry has the advantage in everything else.

 

Sports center top plays does not equal superstar. He can jump really high and that's it. Switch him and geezer Duncan and the clips are the best team in the west.

 

Hardenhas a mmassive upside. Dude has no offensive repatoire and is still averaging 26 a game. once he improves his game more were looking at a 30 points a game player

 

Agreed, Griffin at this stage has nothing except athleticism, boy if clippers could have Duncan or Garnett.

 

Honestly Curry SHOULD be the best player in the draft, he can juggle playmaking and scoring seamlessly, and the fact that he's basically iso-ing and still hitting 3s at a record-breaking rate is just amazing, he reminds me a lot fo prime steve nash. Unfortunately though, Curry has been so injury prone he's kinda' like Yao Ming 2.0 at this point, everybody can see the eventual breakdown coming but he's worth too much to the franchise to trade away.

Blake Griffin hasn't exactly been a picture of health himself, he blew out his knee and he still hasn't developed any post moves which could carry his game incase his athleticism goes out. Apart from an improved jumpshot, he's shown no improvement at all from his rookie year, which just shows he's never gonna be that franchise guy Harden and Curry have shown to be imho.

So I think it's Harden, Curry (health issue) and then Griffin (2nd banana).

 

Harden. Top 5 scorer.

 

Patrick Beverley with the 42nd pick

 

Griffin is overrated, in my mind.

 

Let me put it this way I dont think any fanbase would trade their guy for any of the other guys. I think Harden maybe the better player but I love Curry who is a MUCH better leader.

 

and they were awful

 

James Harden, followed by Curry, then Griffin is a distant third.

 

I agree. And as of last night Blake's high anke sprain makes him questionable to finish the clip mem series.

 

Harden

 

Griffin is a great athlete, but an average NBA player.

I'd take Curry if not for his troubled ankle. Harden hands down at this moment.

 

What's up with Griffin and practices?

He seems to get hurt a lot in practices...

 

how? (just curious)

 

This x1,000,000,000

 

It's James Harden. Those other two players have been on the same team the whole time. Harden has made it to an NBA finals and won sixth man of the year award easily, so he is way more accomplished at this point. In the future who knows how good curry and Griffin could get.
