Blake's Jump shot

[snydrosooner]

Blake Griffen looks alot more comfortable shooting the mid range then he did even last year. Hard work is paying off. He just seems more smooth with the sho and not hesitating.

Agreed. Blake's shot looked good last night. Seems to me he has been releasing the ball on his shots a fraction of a second after he had reached the apex of his jump. In other words, the release was coming on the way down and it was throwing his timing off. I didn't see that last night.

If BG can become a consistent threat in his mid-range game, much like Carl Malone used to be, he could be one of, if not the most dominant power forwards in NBA history. Well, he also needs to continue to improve his free throw shooting. His stroke looks a lot better, but he still has work to do.

Karl Malone don't know Karl Malone is spelled Carl Malone.

He does now.

There was one play in the third quarter where he was dribbled the ball coast to coast and then took it in for a shot himself, which he made. Think he could play point guard?

Doubt it. Not at that level.

Seriously, though, Blake handles the ball and passes really well for a guy his size. The announcers in last night's game raved about his passing.
