Blake's defense > Amare's defense
But then again, most everything is better than Amare's defense.
I've been sayign this for forever and will continue saying it tbh... Blake Griffin will never be a superstar. He will be a perennial All-Star role player, and his absolute ceiling is a key starting big in a contending team... which tbqh, is still pretty good, but ya, he will never be able to carry a team and he can never be the 1st (and probably not even 2nd) option on a team hoping to contend.
Well said. I personally think his ceiling is a little lower but he might make it to key bigman status on a contender.
Griffin is an excellent second option, reminds me of Shawn Kemp though Griffin has a softer touch inside the paint. Griffin will be a perennial All Star, that's his ceiling. I live Griffin but I'm not blind, he's not a player that can impact a game in so many ways like Webber, KG or develop an unstoppable post move like McHale, Malone.
Kinda reminds me of Shawn Kemp from back in the day.
Although monkeyball has developed some skills in shooting, passing and even dribbling since he started playing in NBA one year after he was drafted, his games still pretty much depend on his athleticism and I don't think a tiger will ever change his stripes. But his athleticism will be gone and his body will be worn out before long, just like how it works on almost every high-flying white man. He will still be a decent role player based upon his skills even with limited athleticism, but nothing more than a David Lee, or Kris Humphries type of thing imho
He's nothing more than a Josh Smith type. great for 2-3 seasons.
dude is done and nothing he can do to change the course of his fate. Being in the terrible environment that is the Clippers probably also contributed greatly to his early demise.
Solid article about how Blake's potential can be maximized:http://basketball.realgm.com/blog/22...-Blake-Griffin Essentially, Tjarks says they should use him as a small-ball 4 (sort of like how LeBron and Durant are used) and get as much floor spacing around him as possible (which would mean trading DeAndre Jordan)....
I like Griffin, I don't know if he'll ever become a dominant type of player though. He's certainly skilled and I think he can still improve his game.
Did Jonathan Tjarks wrote that?
Honestly with all the Griffin media bashing thats been going on this summer, I fully expect him to enter the season fully motivated to prove the haters wrong. Dude has the talent.
he's still young too, and has room to improve his game, just look at all the bashing LBJ received early on in his career.
It all goes back to having no advantage other than being a top monkeyballer. Blake's progression or lack thereof shows that even an amazing athlete can only go so far. He must also have actual skill and basketball intelligence, two things Blake lacks.
Repeating the same exact take a million times with slight rewordings doesn't make it more profound, tbh
Someone salty asRepeating the same exact take a million times with slight rewordings doesn't make it more profound, tbh
I don't know if he's regressed, but I think he's close to hitting his ceiling. Dude is athletic as that will only take you so far. Him and David West had comparable per game and per 36 numbers last year.
