Griffin is a highlight show, but he isn't that great of a player. His game has some very big flaws.

It is always tough to judge a guy like Harden. It is possible he looks better playing with those guys, but the flip side is he might be better. He is a guaranteed 20+ PPG scorer if he was a #1 or #2 option, I don't care who is guarding him. All those things about coming off the bench and facing mostly reserves are kind of out the window in the playoffs. Even so, he is double teamed often. The Thunder are a team that usually has two guys on the court that can't score, and he still scores.

Josh Smith and Al Jefferson are numbers guys on not very good teams...big deal. Every team has one of those guys. I watch way too much NBA, so I don't just look at numbers. I wouldn't trade Jefferson for Perkins, why the hell would I think he is better than Harden?

I can think of a lot of guys who can fill the role that Harden plays but I can't think of too many that can play Bynum's or like Griffin. As a matter of fact there arent any really. Is Harden really much different than S. Curry or Joe Johnson?

Blake Griffin averages 22-12-3.5, shoots 53% from the field
He is 2nd team all NBA in his 2nd season and is already the best true power forward in the league. Just sayin...

Al Jefferson is probably as good of low post scorer as there is in the NBA. He isn't exactly a defensive specialist but if he and not Bosh was on the Heat they would have beaten Dallas last year.

Harden is a really good player but he is in the ideal system for his game.
