Who is like Blake?
Love is better than the players I'll list but their games are similar (jumping shooting bigs who rebound well)
David Lee
Troy Murphy
Elton Brand (in his prime)
Udonis Haslem
Zach Randolph
All these players scored mainly on face up jump shots and put backs and were good rebounders. Love just does what they do better.[/quote]
I meant to quote this earlier as well.
It's absurd to compare Love to Lee, Murphy and Haslem, it's like comparing Dwight to Emeka Okafor, Samuel Dalambert and Reggie Evans and his game is also much more efficient and diverse then Z Bo.
Love is not just a jump shooter.[/quote]
How does Love mainly score...with face up jump shots and 3's. He also scores on put backs. Anyway your missing the point of my previous post. I was clear that none of the players were better than Love so efficieny isn't for this arguement. I was stating that all of these players had a similair style which is primary face up jump shoot and great rebounding.

I'm really not certain what the "problem" with Love mainly scoring on put backs, free throws, and threes is. Those are basically the most efficient shots in the game, the fact that he can get a lot of them should be a positive, not a minus.

It's really surprising that Blake only averages .2bpg.

My decision will be based on who else is on my roster but if I were starting from scratch and I could choose one of these two players to begin with I think based on what I have seen from last season and this season so far, I think I would pick Blake Griffin, mainly because of potential. Blake has a higher upside and potential than Love.
Michael Jordan was so dominant in his hey days due to his athleticism and so is Blake, and later on he developed that jumper and fadeaway that made him unstoppable. Blake is only in his second year, and what I have seem is that he has great worth ethics and the desire to be the best, maybe then Blake can developed into a good to great defensive player and a midrange game as well, who knows.
