In 2007, the dunk champion in the All-Star Game of senior high school still had a slight advantage over Beasley. Golf bookmakers are good at learning, strong in confrontation and excellent in physical fitness. External projection is under development.
In-depth analysis: In recent years, a big man with the best combination of quick mind and athletic ability defeated michael beasley, Austin Freeman, donte greene and others in the high school all-star dunk contest in 2007 and won the championship. One of the baskets was very creative and got a perfect score of 50. The only lottery player among the super high school students enrolled in 2007 who did not participate in the draft once ran to the top 5 in this year's draft forecast. He gave up the recruitment of many famous schools, such as North Carolina and Duke, and decided to play for his hometown team (another reason is that his younger brother taylor griffin also plays for Sooners). Freshmen became the absolute main force of the University of Oklahoma, averaging 14.7 points and 9. 1 board.
Griffin's biggest selling point is strength. Few players can subdue him from the inside in college games. Even in the face of michael beasley, who ranked second this year, he still scored 27 points and scored 14 boards, which dominated the inside confrontation with Beasley. Height and weight is the standard NBA power forward configuration, with a good sense of the ball and a very neat turn when attacking in a low position. Excellent physical fitness, jumping height of 37 feet (94 cm). Have certain organizational skills and pass the ball well. Griffin has not yet developed the three-point range of the university, and most of the attack points are concentrated in the basket. Considering his playing style and foul ability, the free throw error rate (58.9%) really needs to be improved. And considering his physical fitness, averaging 0.8 blocks per game is really less. Inexperienced in the game, once the opponent plays momentum in an important game, he will get lost on the offensive end (case: last season, he played 32 minutes, 8 minutes and 8 rebounds against this year's champion Derek Ross's University of Memphis; Against the University of Southern California, which explored OJ- Mayo this year, 24 minutes, 4 minutes and 9 boards; The second round of NCAA tournament against the University of Louisville, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 7 boards).
Injury history: Both knees were injured during college-June, 65438 +08 10, he sprained the anterior cruciate ligament, and in March 1 0, the meniscus of his other knee was partially torn.

One day in early March, the NCAA national championship is about to begin. In the training hall of the University of Oklahoma, Blake Griffin is practicing bench press. Alex Browne, the team's head coach, is staring at him. "You must keep an eye on him, or he will stop at some point." Brown said, "If there is any record in the training room, I think he may rank first in all rankings." This ugly big man, who has been shrouded in the shadow of others, ranked first in all media simulation drafts, and he finally succeeded in winning the title of No.1 scholar.
"When Mr. Stern called my name, I was really nervous because I had never experienced such a big scene." Although he was identified as the No.1 scholar by the Clippers early, Griffin still felt the crazy life in the last week. "Since Monday, local time, I have been running around and participating in various activities, which is absolutely non-stop. There are many activities, but they are also very interesting. In fact, I don't understand what happened at the draft party, but I feel very nervous. "
Who does Griffin want to thank most at the most important moment in his life? "Nature is my parents and brothers. They have always supported me and spared no effort. There are also many coaches who helped me a lot when I was growing up. I want to thank them here. " As Joe Cardillian, director of sports at the University of Oklahoma, said, Griffin's family tried their best to keep him away from "outsiders", which was crucial for his growth.
Griffin knew that NBA would be a completely different world from college basketball, and he realized that he needed to improve in all directions. "I think everything needs hard work, so that we can by going up one flight of stairs." I need to learn from a strong striker like Duncan. This is my goal and my direction. I want to play comfortably in the NBA. I will follow in his footsteps. "Griffin's sophomore fall data is: 22.7 points 14.4 rebounds. Who was the last player who scored 22+ 14 in the NCAA stage? He comes from Wake Forest University and his name is tim duncan.
