    Kevin's length would make him hard to cover in the post.

    I would kinda be scared if Blake does get a polished post game because of how explosive he is. He has some moves but not many. If he can get his game polished and avg around 25 and 10 the Clippers might be first seed coming season.

    Having watched Durant at UT, he has great post moves already. He doesn't need Dream, he just needs a commitment to working down there.

    Blake Griffin on the other hand desperately needs to improve his post game. There probably isn't a more overrated player in the NBA right now. Highlight dunks and CP3 make him seem a lot greater than his actual impact on the game.

    My point exactly.

    W/O going into the post this guy gets 28 ppg with great efficiency.

    W/ post play, he can avg about 35 with greater efficiency.

    People are gonna argue that he is too skinny to be in the post but his length is what would help him.

    My question is that, If he does learn how to play in the post, How are Ibaka and Perkins gonna be used?

    That's pretty meaningless unless you're going to show some evidence that he was scoring in different ways than before. Didn't he come off the bench for the first time in his career? That probably had more to do with it.

    I find it funny that people are worried about Hakeem working with other guys. The reason he doesn't work with scrubs is that he charges an insane amount. I think guys do it more for perception than anything else, and the fact that they can afford it. It's really not worth it.
