Why is that flawed? D. Howard is one of the 5 best players alive and he isn't even as good as any of the elite centers in the 90's were. Just cause there is a lack of big men who are actually good, doesn't mean they actually are less important. Basketball is a still a game of size, there is still a reason the two biggest teams, the Lakers and the Celts have been in the finals the past 3 years essentially.Originally Posted by Im Not You
John Wall.
The "big man" theory is flawed in this new era of basketball IMO. Unless that big man is Tim Duncan redux and I'm placing him next to another 7 footer who's pretty good...I'll go w/ the elite point.

Took Amare years to get that jumper right. Won't take Blake the same amount of time.

idk when it comes to big men. i generally prefer centers.. or at least guys who are "anchors" on both ends. i feel like its easier to build a winning team around an anchor-style big manOriginally Posted by DT43
This. Unless the team with the #1 pick has an All-Star 4, then Griffin is the choice. Still debatable even if they do have that.Originally Posted by P MAC ONE
Because of the team he plays on or because of the way he plays? I'm very curious to understand your logic on that one.Originally Posted by DT43

depends on who has the pick.
imo Wall has greater potential to lead a winning team in the future. Blake is awesome, but he strikes me as one of those guys who will average 20-10 for a team that misses the playoffs every year.
The big man usually gets the nod.

It is true that right now Griffin is very raw and his game simply relies on athleticism and not much more, but I feel as if he won't get much better than where he's at now. When he was first getting drafted, I felt like his numbers would be comparable to Elton Brand's when he first entered the beginning of his decline (due to injuries I know). He has by far exceeded my expectations, but he still looks like a guy who will never acquire that offensive touch and finesse (think Dwight Howard but way more mechanical). He'll simply be a highlight factory until the athleticism starts to decline or God-forbid he gets more bad injuries.
