Checking In on Blake Griffin
"In my opinion, Blake Griffin is the front runner for the Rookie Of The Year award. That isn’t a knock on John Wall or DeMarcus Cousins, who are both fantastic players (and I hope to look at each of their preseason at some point), but that is how much Griffin has impressed me of late. He is so explosive around the rim, and that really helps when it comes to his offense and rebounding. When it comes to his weaknesses, a good chunk of the turnovers and the losing focus issue will go away with playing time. If he can get his FT shooting figured out, that is a real scary player."
