The ability to just jump over or power through most PFs in the league makes up for a lot of his offensive limitations. He does occasionally flash some nice footwork, but it's hardly consistent.

I think people should give him credit for doing a pretty good job of passing out of the post. I rarely hear any praise for him in that regard, but it's an important skill for a guy who's going to be demanding double teams and he's picked it up early.

BAH griffen how have teams not figured him out yet? He has no post game can't shoot no real size just energy. clipper put him out there for rebounding and somehow he scores over 20 in most games. how i am not sure but it happens.

edit: Serge Ibaka could do all this and not be a liability on defense.

yep this, iirc bg led all bigmen in assists last yr, or came close. and managed to be the focal pt of the clips offence as a rook, so obviously he can generate his own off. he has his limitations (needs to be better in the hc, needs to shoot better) but he's certainly solid offensively. still, i had a hearty lol at that possession late in the game where cp3 gave it to bg for an iso, dude is way too unselfish for his own good. clips ppp ev drops like half a pt when cp3 decides to let someone else create

bg still a pretty lol defender, good man guy cos he's so athletic but the dude is lazy, a bit dumb, and has short arms so his team/help d still needs work

I think the biggest difference for Memphis between this series and last year's against the Spurs is Zach Randolph. He was hitting midrange shots and doing well in the post last year. He's been missing layups right and left this year and not hitting the midrange shots anymore.

As for Blake, there's no way to compare him to Randolph and Ibaka. Blake is a good slasher with handle and passing skills. His game has no range at all. Randolph is a more traditional post up player whose game is grounded. It doesn't rely on athleticism or leaping ability at all. Ibaka is more of a spot up midrange shooter.

I had to check that stat of assists for blake, he is high, at top 20. ill note that most other players above him are nobodies, so ill knock him down to top 10 last year, behind pau, lamar, garnett, smith, david lee.

that being said, I think its important to note the point guards the clippers had last year, moe and bledsoe, were not nearly as dynamic as cp3 is especially in the passing department, oneis an athlete the other is a shooter, so blake was the main instrument of the clippers offense last year. you can notice this when you compare last years stats to this years stats, he dropped half an assist per game, while upping his fg% by almost 5%.

he definitely a good passer, and one of top elite pfs that can pass, but some player just have a much better innate passing ability. pau, lamar, diaw, smith, all triple double threats for their ability to pass.

Good interview of Mike Brown on the Session-Blake backcourt and the reasons why if you are interested. (laker fans prob saw already). K-bros have some okay stuff sometimes and this one is good if you just like basketball and not even the Lakers.

Do you really think Josh Smith is a good passer? Why do I think he's bad?
