My first time watching Blake Griffen

[seaborneq]

Damn, awesome college player.

[BeatTheJerk]

That's pretty easy to believe since you spelled his name wrong on the title thread .................. unreal that you havn't watched this guy play yet he was on espn all damn year where the hell were you bro ?

[jjgold]

He is pretty solid , I say he is not that good in the pros.

Dude I don't watch a lot of Big 12 basketball, it is not that exciting to me. I watch a lot of Big East and ACC basketball, where skill is of the utmost.

[dwaechte]

He seems to be getting the star treatment today, refs afraid to get him in foul trouble.

[sallysnax8]

He is pretty solid , I say he is not that good in the pros.

i think he'll be okay in the pro's won't be a center...needs to start driving to the hoop if he wants to be successful in NBA....i see him in a Garnett catergory

[SpartyPt11]

I forgot how great the ACC is with 2 teams left in the tourny when the big 12 went 6-0, well 6-1 now being A&M lost!!!! God people think before you say stupid $hit!!!!!!!

[SpartyPt11]

His dik is probably raw right now from the announcers BLOWING HIM! Best quote " did you see him get that ball, well he lost it but that was a great attempt at getting the ball" LMAO

[seaborneq]

I forgot how great the ACC is with 2 teams left in the tourny when the big 12 went 6-0, well 6-1 now being A&M lost!!!! God people think before you say stupid $hit!!!!!!!

I did not say one league was better than the other. The brands of basketball are just totally different. Tell me 5 players with the skills of these players in the BE or ACC. Ty Lawson, G Henderson, J FLynn, T Williams, F McClinton, D James, D Blair, I could go on and on. Great college players, not the AJ ABrams 3-17 types.

[SpartyPt11]

Mclinton the same kid that Miami lives and dies by and were a weak ass team! Ty lawson and flynn I love!! D Blair yeah he is alright but fields is the heart of that team! Henderson HAHAHAHAHAHA get your duke shit out of here!! ACC equals no Defense. I could average 5 a game in the ACC!! 5 players outside the big east and ACC....... T Evans from memphis, Blake G OK, Curry, Meeks, Maynor from VCU... these five are all better the Henderson and mclinton!!! ACC has great offense players but not complete players.

Follow your own advice there buddy.

[InTheHole]

For real? First time?

[SpartyPt11]

what did i say besides facts in that statement?????

[seaborneq]

listed players NOT in the Big 12 for starters.

[SpartyPt11]

my fault... Blake G was thou...... I thought your arguement was those 5 were more superior players then other players in the country not the big 12

[jjgold]

He does have monster games unlike many who ever played college baskets (rebounds/points)

[SoonerGreg]

listed players NOT in the Big 12 for starters.

So its ok for you to mix and match players for ACC and Big East but try to bust someone else's balls about doing the same.

[SoonerGreg]

Oklahoma - Blake Griffin & Willie Warren
Kansas - Sherron Collins
Oklahoma St. - James Anderson
Texas - Damion James

All these guys will be starters in the NBA.

[Tsoprano]

He is pretty solid , I say he is not that good in the pros.

agree

He is a solid ncaa player but I see him getting roughed up in the NBA

[Chi_archie]

big 12 is putting on a GREAT showing in the dance.....

by the time things are said and done could this be how the best conferences look?

1. big 12
2. big ten
3. pac 10
4. a-10
5. big east
6. acc
7.. sec

[Chi_archie]

I love discussion of tweener players....

guys like
Harangody
Blair
Griffen
S. Young

ect... and how they will fare in the NBA.... not sure how Griffens outside shot is, since I don't see it much, but he might be a late bloomer in the NBA and do well

[MonkeyF0cker]

Griffin will be a decent NBA player. Far better than Hansbrough...

WTF are you talking about? How can you even put Harangody and Young in the same category as Griffin? Blake's not a "tweener" at all. He's a legitimate 4 with tremendous athleticism. He's bigger than Michael Beasley, who went No. 2 last year. Might be a late bloomer and do well? He'll be the No. 1 pick in the draft.

[MonkeyF0cker]

He's a beast actually. He has a lot of work to do on his FT shooting and his midrange jumper but I think he'll be a good player in the NBA and certainly a top 5 draft pick.

[Chi_archie]

so if he is the number 1 pick in the draft he will be dominate right off the bat???? he will be an automatic success? you are sharp... Rt not sure if you are new to this board... but welcome if you are.

we need someone like you, that is better at predicting success at the NBA level the even NBA scouts.

because hey, NO first round big men picks have ever been disappointments right?

End of debate End of thread.... the new guy RT has spoken!!!!!

[MonkeyF0cker]

rjt isn't new Arch. I think the scouts would tend to agree with his assessment actually. He probably goes 1 or 2 in the draft. He actually has a more complete resume for the NBA than last year's number 2 (Beasley)...

[Chi_archie]

they might agree.... that isn't the point... I get paid here to spur discussion so, I just don't wanna have my discussion spurring feet stepped on or i'm out of a job. Let's not end the discussion on Blake just because he goes 1 or 2 in the draft. that is EXACTLY my point..... ALOT of first round picks and #1 picks have been busts ESPECIALLY "athletic big men" so does "Blake make or break it" in the NBA...


I think there are good cases for both sides???

[WileOut]

Guys, I don't think you realize what you are saying here. Blake Griffin is BY FAR the best player in college basketball and he will be without question the number 1 pick in the draft.

He is 6-10 250, a prototype Power Forward NBA body. He has the quickness of a great NBA small forward. He has the touch of a great shooting guard. Guys he hits 65% of his shots despite being constantly double teamed in a good conference, and averages 22 points. The bigger the game the better he plays. He hits 33% of his 3 pointers although he doesn't shoot them a lot. There is not 1 power forward in the NBA right now quick enough to guard him. He is going to be the MVP of the NBA many times. That is what kind of player he is.

He is a quicker, better shooting, thicker version of Michael Beasley of the Heat. Much better than Beasley.

He is why Oklahoma will win the tourney.

He averages 14.4 rebounds a game playing 32 minutes in college guys. That is unheard of.

1 weakness and that is free throw shooting.

Yes, I'm new here.

You labeled him a "tweener" when, as WileOut stated, he's the prototypical power forward. Nowhere did I say he would/wouldn't dominate immediately. Moron.

Is everyone that registered at SBR in the past 12 months a moron?

[Chi_archie]

WTF are you talking about? How can you even put Harangody and Young in the same category as Griffin? Blake's not a "tweener" at all. He's a legitimate 4 with tremendous athleticism.

hey thanks for keeping the discussion going....

sorry your last sentence confused me.... you made it seem like those were mutually exclusive statements late bloomer/no 1 pick.... while I think he can be number 1 pick of the decade, and still take 2-3 years to really develop as a servicable NBA player

[DevilDog]

Wow! A little hard to believe the lack of love for Griffin. This guy is a legit four and should just get better. Big, fast, athletic, gifted in many areas. Might not be a super star in the NBA (although he could) but should be a very good player.

[Deuce]

Guy cries like he is Lebron or Shaq. Fukk that asshole. Refs made a lot of shitty calls in that game as well.

[seaborneq]

Oklahoma - Blake Griffin & Willie Warren
Kansas - Sherron Collins
Oklahoma St. - James Anderson
Texas - Damion James

All these guys will be starters in the NBA.

You don't watch much basketball outside of the Big 12 do you if you think those players compare with the BE and ACC

[WileOut]

Somebody name 1 player better than Griffin in college basketball and state your case with stats and attributes.

My argument is above.

[BMORE CAPPER]

big 12 is putting on a great showing in the dance.....

By the time things are said and done could this be how the best conferences look?

1. Big 12
2. Big ten
3. Pac 10
4. A-10
