Flying High

Last week the Los Angeles Clippers won the number one draft pick in the draft lottery. It is rumored that Oklahoma’s Blake Griffin will go to the Clippers with their number one pick. Griffin was arguably the most dominant player in the Big 12 conference, playing against opponents such as Kansas and Texas (the Longhorns). He is the National Player of the Year with and average of over 20 points per game and 14 rebounds per game. He led not only the big 12 conference in double-doubles but the entire league. The Clippers are in definite need of a presence like the one of Blake Griffin. The last time the Clips had a good season was the ’05/’06 season when they ended 47-35. With a strong leader in Baron Davis and the soon to be Blake Griffin the Clippers might stand a chance of turning things around. They have already began trying to reignite fan interest by posting pictures and videos of Griffin all over their site. Maybe he is exactly what they need to get them back to being a playoff caliber team.
