Does anybody think Blake Griffin will win the Rookie of the Year trophy next season?

Summer league is a decently long ways away from the regular season, so I'm not sure how much it will benefit him in terms of getting in shape and such. I think him playing in summer league is fine, he can't be treated like he is fragile, and injuries can really happen at any time, practice, games, whatever. As long as he isn't playing any fatigue minutes in summer league (which isn't going to happen), I think him getting some burn during that time would be appropriate.

The best news though is that he is without pain and looking good heading into next season.

Pretty much. That one feller Elmore Brown or whatever his name is. You know that one PF who use to be on our team, got injured during the off-season.

Blake needs to learn to not play so wild. During pre-season he was jumping all over the place and falling. I loved the energy, but I had a feeling something would happen. I hope this injury makes him play a bit more controlled.

I think he's a heavy favorite to win.

I think Wall will finish a fairly distant 2nd, and then there will be a huge drop off to 3rd (Cousins).

I think it will be very close between Blake, Wall, and Turner.
