I am sure the analyists didn't measure Griffin's height before the game. At 6'9/6'10 he could easily be in the top 3 most athetic PF/C's in the NBA. He will dominate any power forward with his strength and ability to jump, and he will dominate any center with his quickness.

Who said Griffin is going to be a 5? He isn't. He's a 4. And he's 6'7"-6'8". And he can't shoot outside 10 feet. Oh yeah, and he's a terrible free-throw shooter. That being said...
The guy is just explosive. He is an incredible low-post scorer. He's physical enough to be a good defender in the NBA. He's athletic and quick enough to play the 4 in an up-tempo offense. He's strong enough to play the 4 in a slower, half-court offense. He's also a great passer. He's a 2 inch shorter version of Amare Stoudamire He gets to the rack, and he finishes.
Beasley is more of an outside player than Griffin is. Griffin is much more physical. I don't think Beasley is having too bad of a rookie season either.
I don't know if Rubio is planning on entering the draft or not, but Griffin and Rubio will go 1-2. Griffin is NBA-ready today, and he'll be a very good NBA player.

Wait, someone actually agrees with me that Griffin is so 1 dimentional that he won't be able to do much in the NBA playing against guys who are 5 inches taller than him and just as quick...

Yeah, since college is where most of these guys learn to shoot...
He has nothing left to prove in college. He dominates games. There is nothing pushing him to get better.
Pretty much across the board, once you get to the NBA and have all the time in the world to work on your shot with some of the best coaches in the world, any given player's shooting ability improves.
He needs to be in the NBA after this season. It would be a mistake not to come out. It's a weak draft (that doesn't mean he isn't great, just he's an essential lock at #1). He gets paid. He gets pushed by tougher competition. Playing another season in college would just be a waste and retard his growth as a player.

Yeah it's amazing how much NBA coaches can help a shot, just look at guys in college who shot 60% free throws and in 3 years in the NBA are 85%.

i agree with you..lol
i know this has to be a first!
he has NO shot, and gets lucky fouls, heck he knees someone in the stomach, its a defensive foul, he kicks the ball off his foot, and goes out of bounds, defensive foul, i swear the refs just give him all the calls

besides i guess unlike guys at UNC or other schools, he could care less about winning, its all about the money now, sad times in this country
