The problem with your argument is that you need a guy like a Blake Griffin who will keep you in the game to even have those scenarios which youspeak of.Originally Posted by PRIME1984
Your making my point.Originally Posted by PoeticJays

Dwight cant do that. Shaq can't do that. So does that mean they shouldn't have been #1 picks?
Is that what he was trying to say? LOL. I will say this though, nothing in the NBA is a guarantee and what we see with Blake is a whole lot ofupside as he shown dramatic improvement from year to year. You have to take him at No.1 because he is the best player we see now. We can't see into thefuture. I'm sure if everyone knew TP would turn out this way he would of went way higher. The lottery is a gamble, but you have to make it a calculatedone.Originally Posted by CP1708
Prime is a friend of mine, I been arguin with him over this for days tryin to get thru to him, but it ain't workin so we resorted to NT. I'm seekin an intervention for dude, he's like my brother, but it's just not workin right now.
Here is basically his point. He firmly believes that there is a guy in this draft that will go on and have a better NBA career then Blake. Sort of like a Tony Parker who is drafted at 26, but could be a hall of famer.
He believes that Blake is along the lines of a solid 15 - 8 guy, not a TRUE #1 pick in the draft type. (LeBron, D12, Duncan, etc etc)
That's what he means. He also believes that since it is the Clippers, the kid is doomed from jump, a lot like how the Blazers destroyed Oden's hope for being a good player.
Prime is good people, he's just mixed up with this draft is all. He points to the NUMEROUS college players who have dominated basketball, and then gone to the NBA and became nobodies. He sees Blake as one of those type guys. Tyler Hansborough (sp) is another example of this. Laettner, Harold Miner, guys like that.

I have a concern about the Clippers taking Griffin and being disappointed because he's prone to concussions.
terrible comparison. Griffin plays with intesity and a sense of urgency. A link Beasley is missing to become a franchise player.Originally Posted by copped
griffin= beasley 2.0...great role player, complimentary to a star but will not be a franchise player...
Born in Brooklyn (74-84), Lewisburg, Pa (83-84), Santa Monica, Ca (84-95). Yankees 79-95 zero WS wins. Steelers 80-05 zero SB wins. Lakers, ifyou moved anywhere near Los Angeles in the year 1984 you would be a Lakers fan now too!!! Didn't even know what Basketball was until 1984. All I caredabout from 1980 to 83 was Brian Trottier, the Islanders and hockey.Originally Posted by bright nikes

thats really nice of you to stand up for him, but my lord, this thread is awful. i feel like you should try to draft the guy with the best chanceto have a high-level nba career. that might not be the home run guy, but someone who will either help turn your franchise around or move your team in the rightdirection. honestly, who do you think they should have gotten?Originally Posted by CP1708
