I'll be going to watch the HOU/LA Clippers Summer League game today, but before I do, I would like to ask your opinion. There will be a big matchup out there tonight on the court: E. GRIFFIN vs. D. MILES Quick comparison: EDDIE GRIFFIN 2000 PARADE ALL-AMERICA PLAYER ON THE YEAR AVG. 26 pts, 13 rebs, 7 blocks as HS senior 2000-2001 NCAA FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR AVG. over 17pts, 10 rebs, 4 blocks at Seton Hall 6'9'' approximately 222lbs. DARIUS MILES 2000 PARADE ALL-AMERICA FIRST TEAM AVG. 23 pts, 12 rebs, 9 blocks as HS senior 2001-2001 NBA FIRST TEAM ALL-ROOKIE AVG. 9.4 pts, 5.9 rebs, 1.54 blocks as reserve for Clippers QUESTION:If DMILES and EGRIFF declared together in the draft (either 2000-2001 or 2001/2002), whom would you have picked knowing what we all know now? Thanks! ------------------
GRIFFIN. the only reason being his body is better than miles'. he already has a good inside/outside game. plus, he looks to be the better post defender. also, he has a true scorer's mentality, whereas miles (who i has VERY high on in the draft) has a more well-rounded mentality (do everything on the court). i'd take the scorer's mentality that can also play D. it's like jason richardson vs. shane battier. i'd take j-rich. although it would be VERY close. ------------------ here's a verse: hating this name is a full time job for me; shandon in the nba is highway robbery!
Miles is weird, I like his shot blocking but he can't shoot and he needs to bulk up. Tough question, Ive never liked Miles as a player but its an intresting scenario. This question is too hard because I have yet to see Griffen play, no comment. ------------------ "banging Shaq is a whole different expirience"-Pete Babcock Behold the power of quotation
EG darius is amazing, can do cool dunks and stuff, but eg is more solid player with an actual jumpshot and range which miles doesnt have ------------------
They both have so many things going for them in terms of physical attributes, but I would probably take Griffin, with the primary reason being shooting. Miles is an awful shooter away from the basket, and he needs to develop his shot to be a star in this league. He struggles often on free throws. Griffin already has range out to behind the college three point line, and if we're lucky, he can go out to the NBA three point line too. Eddie is also a little more versatile and probably a better post defender, but the biggest reason I'd take Eddie over Miles is shooting. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised to see Miles get the better of him in their matchup tonight...

Miles ------------------ I'm looking for a job, so hire me "And I just have to smile and say 'well, I hope so' while I'm really thinking inside how I'd like to just strangle them and take their job."
You have to pick Miles right now, because he is a proven talent. Ask me again next year. ------------------
Griff I think he has a better overall game and body. I like Miles' attitude a bit better though. Griffin appears to be volatile. I heard Miles lit Griffin up though back in HS. I wish I could hear/see the game tonight. ------------------
Considering that i haven't seen too much of Griffin yet, i would have to go with Miles. But if Griffin is as good as alot of the people on this board this is or will become, I'd have to go with Griffin ------------------
Ask me in a couple of years after we've actually seen them play NBA competition for a while. ...or would that be too late? ------------------ "I'll tell you this, the older I get, the less I trust people. It's true. It's damn true." -- gr8-1 going through some growing pains.
I would take Miles. I think he has the higher ceiling. ------------------ All hail Fadeaway's Cyberfish -- your 2000-2001 BobFinn* Fantasy Basketball League Champions!
Who cares who has the bigger house, we're talking basketball. Miles is more of a 2/3, Griffin is more of a 3/4. All depends on what you need. ------------------ The title will come to ClutchCity once again.
Well, its a lot harder to play Bskball in a house with lower ceilings so I like the logic that EG will be better based on his ceilings. ------------------
