Blake Griffin expectations

[Huffamaniac]

it looks like he is very close to 100%. What kind of numbers do you think he will put up this year? Do you think his cards will see a spike during the year?

I am thinking a solid 18-20 ppg with 8-10 rebounds

I think your expectations are pretty spot on. He should be the ball a lot with the Clipps, I actually see 10-12 rebounds for Griffin though. I also think it's reasonable for his cards to spike a little if he performs to everyone's expectations, I think a little fear/doubt is priced in right now.

14 pts 7 rbs. may not make through the whole season and I can't see him beating john wall for ROY.

I also think his cards will spike as quite frankly a lot of his lesser rookies are criminally low right now. Some of his autos have sold for <$25, which is absurd considering how much of a consensus #1 pick he was last year. There's not a team in the draft that would have taken anyone ahead of Blake Griffin last year. He's an absolute terror. I've picked up a couple auto rookies and hope to pick up a few more before the season starts.

I'm the last guy on the Oden bandwagon, but I'm pretty sure his cards are underpriced too at this point. I would much rather take a chance on a guy with multiple All-Star game quality upside than a sleeper guard/forward who may never start. Of course, it would really help if every single Oden auction weren't BIN/BO. There have actually been a few more Oden auctions at ascending clock recently, which is good. I'm hoping to pick up a low-numbered Chrome or Photoshoot. I think he'll bounce back with a borderline All-Star quality year. Center is a notoriously weak position for All-Stars and Oden is a top-5 quality shotblocker.

I would reduce your expectations knowing that he is a Clipper after all. I'd say 16 and 8 per game with the solid hope that his knee doesn't give him trouble again. If he has the same injury again this year, people will already label him as the next Oden due to chronic injuries.

The injury was a fluke thing. Coming in he was not an injury risk, and there is no reason to think he will not have a complete recovery. Early reports are he is close to 100%
