More potential?? DeAndre or Blake?

I had a argument with my friends the other day about this. I took DeAndres side. I mean I know Blake is the 1st Overall pick. But I think Jordan has the bigger upside for some reason.

Discuss

What is the "some" reason? Do you really think that D.J. has more potential, talent and game I.Q. that B.G.? You really believe that your statement doesn't sound like it is reaching for an arguement? Again, what is the "some" reason

I think he will be a Dwight Howard type player if he pans out. BG i think will be a Amare type player. I think Dwight is better than Amare

I think Griffin will be more like a Lebron James as a PF. Jordan is good but Griffin will be a Super Star.

I agree that Griffin has star potential, I think DJ's potential isn't as high as Griffin's. Don't get me wrong I would love for both of them to become super starts, but I don't see DJ having more potential than Blake.

Maybe you are the first one to "Call & Claim" Deandre Jordan as a Superstar. I will give you credit for having the insight to voice your opinion, I just don't see it. If he lives up to 1/2 the potential you are talking about the Clops will have a bright future. Let us hope that Deandre is a great "Robin" to Blake's "Batman." I just don't see him being as good as Dwight Howard: just as long as he is better than that over-rated messiah from New Jersey who plays for the other L.A. team

I don't think either will become superstars, but Blake's ceiling is clearly higher. I think Deandre looks a lot better so far this year, but he's still way off from even being good.

If Deandre turns out to be better than Blake, we made another horrible mistake with the #1 draft pick.

I think DJ has had the most room for improvement, because he came in so raw. I wouldn't say that he has more potential though. Blake is younger and does possess a more rounded game, whereas DJ has the better physical tools (i.e. size, length/reach). I'm not expecting superstars out of either of them (although, I can see Blake being a star), but of course I'd totally welcome it.

DJ might have a higher ceiling as he's athleticism is better position wise. But it's much less likely that he'll reach his ceiling or even come close
