Not sure where else to put this but since everyone seems to love Blake I figured there would be lots of comments on this game.

So far, Blake isn't doing much more then rebounding. Does he have any outside shot at all ?

Interesting having watched the game and seeing his stat line.

I would never have guessed it would looked like that. He didn't seem that dominate from what I saw. He kind of quietly fill the box score.

His post D doesn't seem very good. He just kind of stands there with his arms up.

He is defiantly got a pro body. 6-10 251

That almost as big a Etan who is 6-10 260

FYI they have Tyler Hansbrough listed at 6-9 250. If that is true, he should look a little thicker then Griffin. I don't see that.

When they shook hands at the end of the game, Hansbrough looked just as tall as Griffin. Hansbrough also has some pretty long arms. I wonder if Hansbrough is going to defy conventional wisdom and turn out to be a pretty good player in the NBA. Could he be the next Carlos Boozer?

I don't believe Griffin is really 6-10.

He may only be 6-8ish. That doesn't worry me that much though.

His relative passivity defensively would be a bigger worry. That said,
he still grabs boards like a demon and you have get rebounds to end
defensive possessions. Haywood challenges shots, Griffin cleans up.
Hope we're that lucky. If we're not, then things get a lot more complicated
on what 'ought' to be done.
