Player A or Player B?

If you were building around a PF and these two dudes were your options, who would you choose and why?

Love.

Better rebounder, better scorer, equal defenders, no past injuries, style of play will age better, doesn't flop, isn't a fake tough guy.

Its easily Love. Love has the better all around game. His offensive game is way more polish than Griffin. Griffin's game is mostly predicated on his athletic ability.

Great dunkers will always get overrated. That's all I have to say about Griffin.

Love - easily.

I'd have to say Love but neither of these guys are players to build around. they are compelementary 2nd options to the likes of Kobe, Lebron, Durant, Rose, etc.

I'd trade any combination of assets to pair Bismack with Love

this sums up my feelings. i think he is the perfect #2 for any team with a superstar wing or guard.

Love, no doubt. Doesn't have the athleticism of Griffin but his intangibles are off the charts.

I'll play devil's advocate for Griffin and say I think he might be a better defender one day than Love.

It's not worth winning if you can't win big, Blake Griffin. Might never win the championship, but it'd be a lot of fun to build around. Close call, of course.

Griffin- Love might be the better player, but with, " Must see BG " you'll never have a cold seat in the house.

Tough call, both young great players. Love has the better all around game, but Griffin is so explosive around the basket, has good ball handling, and is showing improvement in his distance game....I'd say Griffin by a hair.

here's another hot debate going around

would you rather have rubio or irving?

penquin11 · Post #14 » by **penquin11** » Mon Jan 30, 2012 4:57 pm

we should really rename this thread the player debate thread.

Also I would definitely favor Rubio over Irving right now. While Irving is a better scorer Rubio is a great all-around player. He can distribute the ball incredibly well and then quickly switch into being a good defender. Rubio is already looking like one of the better PG's in the league.
I would rather have Rubio then most other PG's...

Rubio. He's got size, better skills, and more swag.

"There's only one Kyrie Irving."

Oh also on the Kevin Love vs Blake Griffin its Kevin Love.
Kevin Love is a 20-10 machine who could be one of the best player in the league if he were to develop his defense, as thats the only big hole in his game.

lets hear some fun comparisons and who would you take?

Post #20 » by **Diop** » Tue Jan 31, 2012 4:45 am

Idea from the trade thread.

What other rookie's from this years draft, not including Irving, would you trade BB for?
