Is Blake Griffin a top ten player in the NBA?

[JustinCruise]

A recent thread raised the question.

For some reason I can't do a poll. Mods please add a poll if possible. Thanks.

 

[gtc09]

yes

 

[HarryCaray]

You said he wasn't even a top 10 PF.

 

[Enfuego]

These are 10 of the guys I'd take over him.

Durant
LBJ
George
Harden
Love
Anthony
Paul
Curry
Aldridge
Davis

Talk about moving the goal post.
In the other thread you said he was not a top 10 PF.
Now you are asking if he is a top 10 player period.

Only in your world.

The original poster said he was a top ten player ranked as high as 8, and that is what this thread is about.

I have yet to post my opinion on this thread and will do so once some others have a chance to get it started.

Well since you laughably said he was not a top 10 PF in the NBA I have a pretty good idea what your answer is on this question.



But to give my answer he is anywhere between 8 to 12 which means that really there is no incorrect answer to your question.

But as far as top 10 PF.

Anyone who says he is not is not worthy of even talking to.

I don't know. What does a top ten player mean? Can he carry a team? If you took him away from the Clippers how much different would their record be? I would say he's certainly a top 20, maybe top 15.

He is in the 8-12 range. Granted he is no paul milsap or zach randolph.

If he is the 8-12 best player in nba please list your top 15 to back up your claim

 

[celticGreen+]

I think he's close, but think he'd just miss my top 10... My list would probably look similiar to Enfuego's, although I'd get Lillard on there, maybe add Westbrook as well.

Hahaha

I'd take Griffin now over them because of his age. No other reason.

Griffin was on fire tonight

The top ten players in the league vs the top ten guys you would take right now are two very different things wouldn't you say?

There are a lot of teams that would take Wiggins over Tim Duncan because of age but it would be just crazy to rank wiggins higher than duncan right now.

Valid point, these are entirely two different things, agreed.
