    This regards eddie griffin. to me this guy is going to be a special player. these days i dont see alot of players w/ his skillz. he can do it all. thats why i have him as my number one pick. yet some might say "what position does he play?" i thhink he will redefine the position. he can shoot, block, jump, handle the ball, run, post up, i see no weakness in this young man except his character, intensity, and need to build up his body..

    look at abdur rahim. is he a SF? he has alot of postup moves and isnt a 3 point shooter. yet he is great player

    look at jamison. some day he's too small to play PF. he plays some SF. what forward does he play? he is a great player.

    these guys dont have a true forward positon. neither does marion/garnett to some extent.. i think eddie griffin will be a star no matter what position he plays.

    I would trade all of our picks for Eddie Griffin. He will be the most dominate 3 on both ends of the floor in a few years.

    I don't think the rocks have the fire power to get him.

    My favorite SF is Odom. I see griffin becoming a big SF that plays some PF like Odom.
