Poor Blake Griffin

[oh the horror]

Too bad he has to be a reserve for Zach Randolph...

I dont buy that for a minute. I think for sure Zach will get the boot either now, or early on in the season.

[plowking]

he's only "criticized" for it because he's built up to be and expected to be a dominant elite superstar. hype and status aside, im quite certain even without a jumper in his arsenal, every team in the league would welcome him into their lineup, and over michael beasley at that.

Beasley had one of the best college seasons ever, all in less years then Griffin as well.

I don't see anything that Griffin does better then Beasley apart from rebound.

Beasley was just as dominant in the post when he played in college if not more so.

Poor Blake Griffin wow sum poster's Basketball IQ really scare me, anyways c'mon Blake & Beasly are the same age but that's it. After being measured correctly Beasly errored from a so called 6'10 college big man to 6'7 pro small forward trying to play the 4 position. At most I see Blake @ 6'9 clearly out weights Beasly if out muscles him. That said they both play different. Blake @ his stature likes to play on the open court, slash, pick & roll, or alley-op, ending up with a Lebronesce dunk. Beasly rather post up isolated maybe 2 to 3 dribbles quick move & fades away with a jumper, effective against college players not as much on grown men bigger than him. I'll give u this as far a pull up jump shots & free throws Beasly got Blake on those 2 too by far. But I can't see Beasly getting any stronger but maybe adding more finesse to his post moves arsenal. As for Blake if he can develop a descent outside jump shot, free throws, etc more of a project but with all that god given talent his potential is endless. With the right Guard by his side(maybe BD) with his size & speed he can have a Karl Malone type pick & roll type of game. To play in LA, the weather, the girls, the beach , the snow the night life, money in his pocket, endorsements galore come one really POOR BLAKE GRIFFIN??? Dam who knows their geography????? I mean unless he's afraid of earthquakes then yeah i agree Poor BG ha ha ha

He was (statistically), but just wathing them play I thought Blakes sophmore year was nasty. Beasley was a great player, but Griffin was "Humanity Advanced". As a USC bBall fan, I wasn't afraid of beasely. He ended up beating the trojans because of lame ticky tack fouls he drew, but physically he could'nt out muscle Taj gibson. Blake griffin made Taj his ***** for the most part when they played. Too big Too strong.

It's sorta like having a bear that can tap dance.

Who wouldn't want a Bear that can tap dance?

That's what I'm saying, having a bear that could tap dance would be cool...but a bear that specializes in "bear stuff" (eating people alive, looking for honey, etc..) would probably be the best for the bear.

Honestly, I think some guys on the Clips now could definitely help develop him. I still don't think they'll make the playoffs next year though. Looks promising though.

Since when is Griffin a good defender? Beasley was better defensively in college.

Furthermore, he's a terrible FT shooter and Beasley is a better scorer.

+1. im glad someone had the balls to point this out. blake is not a good defender, he is however extremely talented on the offensive end

[godofgods]

Zach Randolph, Baron Davis, and Mike Dunleavy are not.

This. Griffin is screwed.

True, but Beasley played against weaker opponents I thought with weaker competition?

[indiefan23]

Baron Davis is a top 5 player when he's trying, that is to say, when Dunleavy is not his coach. I wouldn't want to play that team. If I was Blake, I also would not want to be a clipper man.

Incorrect. It was simply a weak era.
