Can Blake Griffin Surpass TD?

[T_L_P]

If Griffin suddenly becomes an all-defensive team type of player, then he has a chance to surpass Duncan.

That wouldn't be nearly enough. All-Defensive type is Joakim Noah or Serge Ibaka. Duncan is up there with the all time great defenders.

There's no way Griffin improves his defense enough to compare to TD (on that end of the floor).

The only way he'll surpass him is if he becomes a 30 PPG scorer on 60% shooting, and that seems almost impossible.

If he can jump so high, why doesn't he block more shots?

I was crying with laughter when Tim hit that shot. The series was over from that point on.

I Think he will go on to be better than td

TD will go down as the better defender no doubt [/COLOR]

Griffin right now isnt as good as rookie Tim Duncan.

dont be stupid.
Blake wont surpass TD in any way? You really think that Blake will be top5 all time at the end of his career? you really think that blake at age 38 will score double double consistently?



no excuses since 2 years for Griffing making at least WCF with this super stacked team.

i dont think so. griffin has great athleticism and strength. good finisher inside too. but his skillset does NOT translate as well into the postseason.

duncan may be a system player, but he is still one of THE best system players of all time. his impact actually carries weight.

anthony davis OTH will be better than both. he is a crossbreed between KG and duncan (skilled, versatile and not as system oriented like KG - good teammate and can play in a system like duncan)

thanks for explaining that TD will go down as the better defender, like it was up for debate.

Blake makes the ball stick way more than duncan when goes face up. No way he makes passes to slashers or spot up guys around the arc like timmy has his entire career.

What annoys me most is Blake doesn't have a real identity.

He's added the jumper into his game...and now he's starting to drift out.

I don't know why 6-10+ players with as much skill as him and Garnett shy away from banging down low so much. And in Blake's case he can get the perfect entry pass every time.

[Mr Exlax]

Nope. He could be come as skilled as TD, but the height advantage would keep him from ever surpassing him.
