    Considering Eddie is a 19 year old kid, and led the summer league in blocks, and led the team in scoring, even though Colson would waste a half not passing him the ball, I don't think so.

    Uh, I think this guy is just jealous cause we got better picks then san antonio did...j/k
    Nah, I think the Rocks would be pretty happy with his rebounding and blocks, but would like a little more consistent offense.

    He did well in rebounds and block during the summer league. The guy has a great stroke on his shot and when he works more with that he will be automatic from outside. Dont expect him to have 16-17 points this year or even next.

    Thats just San Antonio Spurs envy. Wasn't Griffin an all tourney selection.

    It's from a San Antonio paper . . . SA has a HORRIBLE Sports section, and its writers on basketball think anyone who's not a Spur is evil and sucks.

    FWIW, the Spurs' Tony Parker made the all-tourney team as well, and I think he could be the best PG they have. But that's for the NBA Dish forum.

    This comment from the guy speaks volumes

    Griffin got down inside to rebound but there was no presence to dictate the offensive or defensive flow.


    Huh!?

    This is not true at all. I've heard the Rockets were VERY pleased with Griffin and felt he was already ready to play on the NBA level defensively and as a rebounder.

    Are you implying that you think Griffin was disappointing? Or are you just pointing out the (admitted) refusal of most of us to ever let outsiders criticize Rockets?

    Or both, of course [​IMG].

    Not when the Rockets themselves are happy with Griffin no. He didn't say anything true, he just went on the assumption that the Rockets weren't happy with Griffin.

    ?

    Looks like one reporter's article to me. Anyways, Rogers' isn't known to be light on the Spurs anyways. Learn to separate.

    Alas, it's true. Eddie was so disappointing, we're thinking of trading him to the Clips for a draft pick.

    Nothing said negatively about the Rockets from another paper can ever be true.
