All Star Draft Update

Halfway through the NCAA season there are two contenders for the #1 pick in the draft :

Blake Griffin - Oklahoma Maybe the best athlete in the draft. Has a superb inside game. Explosive dunker, has an incredible vertical leap. On top of all that he is a rebounding beast. I do not see any scenario where he does not go # 1 overall. This is a can't miss prospect.

Hasheem Thabeet - UCONN Hasheem certainly made the right move in staying in school. He is a gamechanger like no other in the NCAA on defense, offense comes and goes. Major improvements have been made throughout his UCONN career and continued progress in reaching full potential justifies a draft selection in the top two.
