    Everyone keeps talking about how Eddie Griffin is a great defender and that he blocks so many shots. Here is what they dont think about:

    (1) Eddie hasn't been as productive in his blocks. He is geting like 1.5 a game which is average for a regular shotblocker.

    (2)Eddie gets his own shot BLOCKED more than he actually blocks shots!! That is just ridiculous, whats the point of blocking shots when u get ur own shots blocked at least TWICE a game:rolleyes: .

    (3) He is 3 feet from the basket and he fades away while shooting. :mad:

    (4) Also, we compare him to Jermaine O'neal when he came into the league. Jermaine never was a starter and rarely got as many minutes as EG is getting right now. He was slowly developed, unlike Rudy's strategy of playing him while he has no game. Start MoT and slowly bring along Eddie until he can help this team.

    :rolleyes:
