3) Blake Griffin PF 6-10 250 Los Angeles Clippers. Drafted: 1 (in 2008-09)

2008-09 College Stats: 22.7 ppg, 14.4 rpg, 2.3 apg, 65.4% FG, 59.0% FT

Comments: Blake was the #1 pick one year ago, but missed the entire regular season due to injury and will still be a rookie. If healthy, we actually think he's got a better shot at Rookie of the Year than both Wall and Turner and is really our #1 pick. But since he's coming off season-long injury, he drops to #3, just until we see for ourselves that he's healthy and ready to rock.

I hope he comes out and plays this coming season like the beast I know he can be. Really looking forward to watching him play again.

Yeah, he's #1 on my watchlist.

I agree that if Blake is healthy he's the leader for ROY.

+1....or is that +2?

I am giddy with excitement waiting to watch Blake play again. IMO there's no doubt he's the one to beat for ROY.

I know, he was doing very well in preseason and with the other talent on that team he has a real chance to put in work...

I think a lot of people are gonna be sleeping on him because he has been out of the spotlight for the past year...In no way do i think he will have an ODOM like Rookie year, even thought both had to miss their original Rookie season...

You mean like Greg ODEN? Haha just bustin' your balls a little. But I guess Lamar Odom is just as underwhelming 80% of the time when he doesn't show up to play.
