Basketball Griffin the prize in NBA's draft lottery

[bhelser]

While Griffin is the best player in the draft and best athlete in the draft, there is not 1 franchise player in this draft.

I think Griffin will be a Boozer type player - a nice player, and can dominate games here and there, but is NOT a franchise player

I think Thabeet has more upside then Griffin.

Thabeet is an athletic 7-3. Reminds me of Dwight Howard.

Griffin is good, but over hyped. Boozer type for sure.

I agree. Griffin will have a decent NBA career, but not a dominant one.

I wouldn't touch Rubio if I wanted to win anytime soon. Euros consistently have proven to not be anywhere near as good as they are once they come over to play with the big boys.

The draft as a whole is extremely weak this year

I don't know ground support, thabeet reminds me of mutombo and bol more than dwight howard, dwight howard is a physical beast that super athletic. thabeet is tall but doesn't seem too athletic to me, his weakness during the tournament was that other bigs were beating him down the court during also his offense needs a lot of work.

true only a few have made it big, dirk, parker, manu, hedo and gasol come to mind.

Mutumbo was damn good in his day if you want to go that route.

 

[GotGibson?]

Thabeet will have injury problems.

 

[Ground Support]

Thabeet still has more Upside then Griffin. No doubt
