Re: John Wall or Blake Griffin for ROY?
Before John Wall's injury and Blake Griffin's 44-point outing, I heard of a lot of people (friends, people on TV, bloggers) that had John Wall higher than Blake. Of course, since those things happened, Griffin is on top. I am pissed. John Wall is I think just a little more polished in his game, if not as flashy. However, they're very similar, albeit very different. They are both athletic and fast, run the break well (on-ball and off-ball), and are good passers for their position. They also have downsides not unusual for their position: Wall with his turnovers and Blake with his free throws. They are also developing range, but are not quite there yet in regards to Blake's midrange game and Wall's perimeter shot. Blake, being a 4, dunks more often, while John, a PG, usually gets on highlight reels for difficult and one layups or flashy passes. But considering their differences in position and height, I think they have a lot in common. Who wins ROY probably comes down to the future. But, as I said, I'm leaning towards my boy John because he's got a slightly more complete game. Kentucky Wildcat baby. That reminds me, notice how the last two ROYs were guards coached by John Calipari in college, just like John Wall. I like my odds.
