Multi-Billionaire Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 6'10 is not undersized for a PF at all, his wing span is nearly 7 foot (about as good as it gets and third best in the draft) and yes he is insanely athletic.His post moves need some work, but mix that with his athletic ability and yes, he probably is the best post player in the draft. Add to his basketball IQ, ability to get to the rim and create his own shot, his ball handling ability, and mostly the fact that he is physically ready to bang with NBA big men, there is really no reason at all to legitimently consider him more "bust-prone" then anyone else in the draft.He will have an immediate impact in the NBA, not just the Clippers. I have my reasons to rate him as a bust, but maybe not Michael Olowokandi/ Stromile Swift bust, just a Joe Smith #1 bust that does not live to expectation.

fish7718 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I disagree. The only downside I see to his game is that he is a bit turnover prone, that's literally it. His jump shot is underrated, he has elite athleticism for a point guard, he is a great passer, and he can defend.What? Are you just making up things to make him sound good? He has no jumpshot at all he is very athelitc i'll give you that better overall hes an average passer and is undersized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An average passer? No way, he's an above average passer. His athleticism makes up for him being somewhat undersized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) 1) Clippers - Blake Griffin (1) (He's just a born B ball player A physical specimen )2) Grizzlies - Hasheem Thabeet (7)3) Thunder - James Harden (8)4) Kings - Tyreke Evans (3)5) Timberwolves - Ricky Rubio (1)(This guy is Nba Ready best passer in the draft)6) Timberwolves - Jonny Flynn (6)7) Warriors - Stephen Curry (1)(The Golden Boy Natural Scorer)8) Knicks - Jordan Hill (3)9) Raptors - DeMar DeRozan (7)10) Bucks - Brandon Jennings (10) Pretty much the sure things for me are, The Golden Boy( Stephen Curry)Ricky Rubio and Blake GriffenI've had a significant amount of time to watch all of them and they seem the most Nba fit( And most likely will turn into stars). I will bet anyone the biggest bust in this draft will be Brandon Jennings, he talks alot of smack and hypes himself up more then the media does( thats a recipe for disaster). His game dosen't impress me at all. Edited August 18, 2009 by Years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like if he is given the minutes he will dish out some massive production. A 6 for James Harden, 7 for Evans, 8 for Flynn??All of these players (and others i did not mention) have been fantastic this season and have proven themselves far from busts.
