Blake Griffin Declares for NBA Draft

[Herm]

at this point of his career, i'd be much more concerned with jamison attempting to guard SF than caron playing SG (btw, about half of butler's starts have come at SG this season, with dominic mcquire playing SF). i wouldn't be shocked if griffin is a reserve initially, whether he ends up with the wiz or the kings

Blake will be starting for Memphis next year :tee:

Even though I don't like him, I hope he keeps playing somehow (NBA/NCAA) so I can shout" Griffindor wins!" whenever he makes a play.

I wonder how he'd do in an offensive system like the Suns. It would be interesting to watch.

welcome to the wizards champ.

Not likely. As a Grizzlies fan, I can tell you to not hold your breathe. We've been screwed in the lottery the past 2 seasons.

If everything went as planned, my Grizz would have Kevin Durant and Michael Beasley right now.

I think we will get the number one pick this year though.

I can't see Griffin being 6'7". He seems about 6'9" to me.

Dude is going to be even more of a playmaker in the NBA.

He'd do great in a pick and roll system. Imo, he's like Amare when he was a rookie with more bulk.

He'll develop a decent 10 foot jumper and should blossom into an All-Star caliber player.

Because of that athleticism (and the powerful hands) I've heard some compare Griffin to Charles Barkley.

I think DeJuan Blair of Pitt is more like Barkley than Griffin. Blair is such a quick jumper.

Personally, Griffin actually reminds me more of Larry Johnson. FWIW, I didn't think LJ would amount to much in the pros for pretty much the same reasons you gave doubting Griffin. I actually thought Augmon would fare better. Since then, I'm a little gunshy about predicting what 6'6" to 6'8" post-players will do in the NBA.
