    Is it the added weight training? Why is he shooting so many bricks?

    From what I can tell, he never shot a high or at least decent percentage, not even in college. I really hope they can fix his shot. He should be practicing that every day from AM to PM.

    His shots never even look that nice. But I still think he is a great defensive player and should become better. They need to repair his shooting touch.

    EG's shot is way too flat. He has no arch. He needs to watch tapes of Jermaine O 'Neal.

    He cant dribble really well. He needs to work on his ball handling.

    His back to basket game is inconsistent. When he makes a move, he rushes his shot and throws up a brick.

    He just needs to calm down and relax.

    lol, you can't really tell his emotions...cuz he has none!!! He says he spends most of the time by himself on the road because he's too young to do anything. So he plays video games. Video games are great, but he could be spending that time weight lifting or working on his shooting. I mean...when he makes an awesome block or makes a 3 or gets called for an outrageous foul, he never responds. I don't think I've ever seen him smile during a game. But go Eddie Griffin! Eddie should watch Rasheed Wallace. Wallace, big man, shooting 3's. All the tall European guys can shoot. He should study their shooting. He can't learn from Yao, cuz Yao's shot isn't standard either. But Yao makes his shots, so it doesn't matter. Eddie is just Rashard Lewis.
