    This guy is balling out of control in his rookie year. He averages 20 and 12 and dunks better than anybody i know. On top of that, he can get better then he actually is with more age and experience.

    Whats your opinion on Griffin?

    Nope, he'll get injured and live a Shawn Kemp career (who is not the one of the best ever)

    So Griffin will become overweight and on drugs?

    Griffin will be the proud daddy of 8 kids through 6 different women?

    He's got superstar athleticism, that's for sure. Time will tell how much he improves skill wise in his offseason time. That'll really determine where he ends up. He'll be a primo free agent when he gets tired of losing with the Clips.

    Watch him jump to the Lakers if the NBA doesn't implement a franchise tag.

    If he wins more championship than Tim Duncan, otherwise no.

    Too early to tell, pretty sure people felt the same way about Ralph Sampson when he first exploded onto the scene, not that they are similar but you know ho0w fast things can change.

    Do you really have to win more championships to be better than someone? Isn't MJ considered better than Bill Russel?

    If he can win 3-4 rings then he will be considered the second best PF during this era, behind Duncan

    I really hope he can improve his FT shooting.

    There are definitely areas that Blake can improve on such as FT shooting. Right now he relies more on his body and freakish athleticism than his skills. In time he will improve, be more polished, and add more dimensions to his game. However, I'll say this -- Griffin already has more skills than most big men in the league today. He is a surprisingly good ball handler and passer. He's light years ahead of Dwight at the same stage in his career.

    This guy is already one of my favorite players but I'm afraid he will end up like Antonio Mcdyess because of the way he jumps.
