What should Blake Griffin be rated?

[EHS_25]

they just did a living roster update yesterday and he came in as a 85... and he played just like he does but not as fast as he is. he is easily the fastest big man in the game. and if you have you been watchin his games lately he is starting to become more than just a dunker. he has been hittin a few threes, and sizin up guys and doin step back 18 footers. kid can play

They didn't even need a strong 4 to help out with rebounding. Dwight over BG... That's a new... Wow people say that only after what 3-4 months... What disrespect ... lol

Blake is having a great rookie season.. probably the best from a PF that we have seen in a long time. 2k rated him an 85 in the update and really didnt touch his defense while raising many offensive attributes. Blakes defense is lacking but his offense and physical attributes are what makes him an 85.

I think that his layup, pass, and vertical are still too low. If Dwight Howard's layup is a 79 I dont see how Griffin couldnt be on par with that. PF Josh Smith has a 67 passer rating and Blakes is only in the 40s. It should be between 60-65(Smith and Blake are both averaging 3.5APG this year). His vertical is only an 83... it should be in the 90s.

Other than that I like how they updated him and I think its very accurate.
His handles, speed and quickness are good where they are. Hes not Lamar Odom or Lebron James. He's a power player with amazing quickness.

They may have kept his vertical low so he doesn't get more blocks. The same with his passing, so he stays aggressive.

I can understand the argument for vertical especially with his height.
However, staying aggressive has nothing to do with his ability to make a good pass. If Josh Smith has a pass rating of 67 than I dont see anything wrong with BG's pass being a 60-65. There are a few other big men on 2k that need a pass boost IMO. Duncan, Horford, K. Love, the Gasol brothers and Scola are the ones that I think need it most. All of these guys are very good passers for their size and should be in the low 60s IMO.

I wouldn't say he is just "hot" he has been doing good all year. Except last night I think the Mavs frustrated him. After the first qtr they changed the way they were guarding him mixing in double teams and really pressuring him only had 10 points in three qtrs and was obviously frustrated.

He has been going crazy don't get me wrong. Some people in this thread have gone as far to say he's the best PF in the league. This rookie has improve all of his numbers every single month in the league. But like I said... some of ya are just going a little too nuts about it.
