    Is a stud. I am very fortunate to have season tickets and watch this guy dominate night in and night out.

    He put up 32 and 15 against UAB in the garden tonight and is AVERAGING 27 and 20. Just a beast. Oh yeah, he's also shooting 80% (49-65) from the floor.

    If you haven't watched him yet, do yourself a favor. He's added a TON of post moves and is hitting his jump shot consistently from different spots on the floor.

    What do you all think?
    Does he have a shot at National Player of the Year against Hansborough and Curry?
    How does his game translate to the NBA? Is he Carlos Boozer, Karl Malone, or Amare Stoudamire?

    I can tell you he's a legit 6'10".

    Definitely possible that he wins Player of the Year. It's obv a 3-man race between Griffin, Hansborough and Curry.

    As for how he'll translate to pro ball: see Emeka Okafor imo

    Obv my favorite player but I think Stephen Curry or Psycho T will win POY. Curry may well avg 40 ppg which will lock it up and if UNC goes undefeated the POY will come from that team. I want to come see a game in Norman!! PM me !!!!!!!!!!!!

    Jesus fucking Christ all this hype over a black version of Austin Croshere or Luke Haragody?!! Seriously??! This guy will be lucky to average 10/7 in the NBA.

    I never had any credibility, I hate college basketball. I was a wrestler in college, basketball players are all pussies as far as I'm concerned. I will however, enjoy making completely uniformed and idiotic posts tonight!

    I only had the chance to watch him play one game last year and I wasn't impressed by his 8 points and 7 rebounds ...

    I guarantee you...wrestler or not...you would think twice about calling Griffin a pussy to his face. He is more impressive physically than anyone our football team puts on the field...and we've got a good number of NFL athletes.

    Besides that, he's got a brother who is also huge...they would be a bad-ass tag team. :)

    Try him again this year. He had two knee surgeries last year (during the season) and still managed to average 15 and 9 in Big 12 play. He's a flat out stud and is killing it this year.
