Yep, just like Hassell Minnesota has taken an unwanted player and turned him into a contributor for a championship caliber team. Very nice signing. Probably one of the best values of the offseason.

or a rat.
Griffin is a good player with his head on straight, a good scorer, nice range and a solid defender and rebounder.

ya he is definatly not the highest basketball IQ and he would fit a little better at PF so it would be ideal for him an inch or 2 taller but
he does have all the skills
excellent range, rebounding, shot blocking
this guy was really gonna be a star when he first came in
and than he ****ed himself up
now he seems like hte next joe smith

What Joe Smith?
haha,i would say he is a poor J O'neal with Range..
If he is given more minutes, he will be a defensive beast.

He would have been, unless he and Lamar Odom started hanging out too much.

True.
Damn, look at his statline tonight. 20-9-2 and 5 blocks in 27 minutes. 4-5 from the arc.  Nice game from your backup PF.

His talent and potential were never questioned. The Rockets traded Richard Jefferson, Jason Collins, and Brandon Armstrong for Griffin on draft day (2001). It's just that he's a headcase.
Looking at his game in his rookie year, he's like a mini Rasheed Wallace. He's a very good shot blocker, good rebounder, and has very nice range for a player his height.
But, right now, he's all potential. Will he ever figure out the game? will he ever reach his ceiling? There are a lof of players like Eddie Griffin in the NBA today; players who has the talent but still can't figure out the game (guys like Rodney White, Qyntell Woods, Dajuan Wagner).
However, there are also guys who finally pans out. It's either they take their talent to the next level, or benefits from playing time, or they just being a hard worker. Ricky Davis, Corey Maggette, Gerald Wallace, Samuel Dalembert, and many others.
Griffin is still young, he was drafted after his freshmen year. I think if he got his head right, he has a chance to be at least a solid player.
