Arnovitz: In defense of Griffin's ranking »

Blake Griffin is no doubt a beast, but I think it is premature to rank him at number 10. He still needs to expand his game. #NBArankMon Oct 17 15:07:19 via web

@NBAonESPN Blake Griffin in the top 10 is pushing it too far. Win a playoff series, and we'll talk. #NBArankMon Oct 17 15:22:03 via web

So Blake Griffin was ranked higher than Melo and STAT because of defense. Funny, I never saw him playin much defense either. #NBArank #KnicksMon Oct 17 15:28:45 via web
