Blake Griffin vs Michael Beasley

Blake Griffin will be top 5 PF next year

:roll:

[QUOTE=Swaggin916]Blake will and Blake is better. Both can finish, but Blake is more explosive, and will develop a great faceup game and decent post game... Something Beasley probably won't ever develop. he definitely has the potential to be a good faceup player, but I don't think he does.[/QUOTE]

Is this a joke? Have you ever watched Beasley play? 90% of his points coming from facing up and driving past pf's or hitting jumpers.
I think they will both be very good but I give Beasley the advantage as he is more skilled.

[QUOTE=SCdac]Griffin is the real deal. His athleticism, strength in the paint, explosiveness, it's all built for the NBA. He was scoring in that initial summer league with relative ease, against players trying to make teams, even posterizing people and shit. Should be taken with a huge grain of salt of course, but I don't think his game is completely about "potential", of all the draftees since then he's one of the most NBA ready. Vinny Del Negro has already talked about Blake being opening day starting PF, and according to Blake he's been going "almost full blast" for a couple of months now. I'd take him over Beasley personally.[/QUOTE]

this^^^ blake is a beast unlimited post moves! extremely athletic and will put up some big numbers. to answer the OP blake griffin and blake griffin

blake griffin

Blake isnt better than beasley right now because lack of experience. But He will be better than beasley , he has the height and strength.

Bro both of these players are gonna be sick, but i'm going to say Beasley for both.

This.

Barring further injuries, I wouldn't be surprised if Blake Griffin approaches 20 ppg this season. He's a very good ball handler for his size, is a solid passer, and has pre-injury Amare type explosiveness. Nobody is going to stop this guy from getting to the rim.

I was living in another state at the time so I didn't get to see Griffin play at Oklahoma, I've just seen Youtube highlights which aren't that reliable.

However, as a former Heat fan, I was very interested in Beasley's game and have watched him intently since he was a rookie. Beasley obviously has talent for scoring, but he either never gelled with Spoelstra and his methods, or he's an idiot.

Griffin is said to have amazing work ethic. Beasley's has been called into question many times in the past.

Really I think it all depends on if Beasley gets his act together and really focuses on basketball. It also depends on if Griffin can stay healthy.

Any other answer is probably based on bias or homerism because I don't think we've come close to seeing either of these players potential.

They have the same vertical and 3/4 sprint... Beasley and Griffin that is.

smh.. The #1 pick, who is untouchable right now and has the most unbelievable work ethic you've ever seen, vs a guy who just got traded for a bag of peanuts to the Timberwolves... The question answers itself

Sorry Onceinadecade, I've read ISH for a long time and I agree with you about the Gordon love and the hate against Mayo stans (HIGH FIVE BRO! Even though there are a few Mayo stans who are unbiased and nice) but this question isn't even a question at the moment.

Can Beasley resurrect his career and become the player you think he'll be this season? Sure, he could. But until then, right now his stock is really low and he has to prove himself to get back up in the ranks.. Meanwhile, Blake Griffin had 11 hour a day sand dunes training that other NBA players couldn't handle, and this was his freshman year of college.. The guy has more work ethic than you guy will realize, and he's still just a kid...

He's really explosive and not just athletic but STRONG as hell. I've seen him live, he played in the preseason too not just Summer League. His hustle electrifies the crowd and he has a knack for rebounding (kinda like Camby did).

He didn't play much D in college but later it was revealed that his coaches told him NOT to.. so he wouldn't get into foul trouble. And I've seen my fair share of blocks from BG in the preseason and Summer League that really impressed me.. He blocked lots of dunks that I was cringing like "oh shoot he's gona get dunked on.. WTF?!?! HE BLOCKED THAT?!?!"

Not to mention his passing ability (something I didn't even know about, even watching him in college). He's thrown so many no look passes, passes while he's falling out of bounds, and he throws PERFECT alley oops to teammates. He doesn't take stupid shots and he's very efficient.

You guys are really underrating BG. If he was as bad as you guys saying why was he the consensus #1 pick? There was plenty of talent in his draft.

Barring further injury I go with Griffin because he seems more explosive and aggressive. I like Beasley but he needs to play with more fire, an undersized PF can't be so passive. Beasley is also in a bad situation, as the team's franchise player (non-Spanish division) is actually another undersized PF. If Beasley can't play SF pt will be an issue while Griffin seems to be the Clips' franchise player already.

[QUOTE=plowking]I think a lot of people will be disappointed with Blake next year.

I mean, a lot of people point to his size/strength/athleticism as to why he'll be better than Beasley. Looking at their pre draft measurements, they're pretty much equal across the board. When you take into consideration Beasley did it a year younger, he probably would have had better numbers at the same age (a year after).

Considering Blake isn't as skilled as Beasley, I don't see how he's going to be scoring the ball all that efficiently. He's not going to be pushing guys out of the way and scoring like he did in college.[/QUOTE]

i think Blake will average 14/9 49fg% next season and they miss the playoffs. Which is good.

Yes. Beasley is also longer than Blake.

I see Blake getting most of his points by put-backs, and dunks like Amare. Beasley is a way better scorer than Blake.
