exactly how good will Blake Griffin be?

Best case - Malone

Most likely - Boozer

Worst case - McDyess

Great banger PF; not soft like Gasol/Bosh. Not a shooter like Dirk.

 

bestcase: Malone/Boozer with Amare's athleticism

I'm not doing an "already posted" thing... just pointing you toward some past discussion on this topic which might interest you.

 

He's going to be a beast. Ive never seen a PF do what he can.

Perhaps somewhere between Kenyon Martin and Boozer.

 

You've never seen a pf make some post moves against a 5'7 fat asian guy?

 

Actually no ive never even seen a 5'7 fat asian guy gaurd a PF

C'mon dude why you gotta act so stupid and act like youve seen a 6'10 250 lb PF handle the ball like a point gaurd and have all that athleticism he does. Just because ive never seen that doesnt mean you gotta try and show me up.

 

You think Boozer is having a better career than McDyess?????????

 

McDyess was injured for a good chunk so yes.

 

Barring injury, a hall of fame player.

At one point McDyess averaged 21 and 11, was a part of the 2000 gold medal team.

i wouldnt consider them vastly different, check back with us on how Boozer is doing when he doesnt have Deron Williams next season

 

all 3 play (ed) with great point guards, i just don't see griffin putting up those kinds of numbers with bdiddy running the show, not enough shots there.

most likely scenerio = kmart.

 

Ballhandling skills seem to be consistent with Hedo Turkoglu's skills.

I want to see Griffin try those moves against defenders like Chuck Hayes and Nene though.

In a 1 on 0 situation, the 12 year old kid down the street is a good ballhandler too, so the vids don't really tell us too much.

 

yea...boozer actually is having a better career than mcdyess. check out the stats for yourself.

I don't think he'll be as good as he's hyped up to be. He looks smaller than I a lot of PFs in the NBA and the Clippers suggested that he play at the SF spot over that Zach guy. That to me spells DOOMED.
