On a serious note... I would say he is finishing better. Like I've seen him put on some legit cofident hooks shots over guys. I wouldn't say he is a legit go to post guy. But I do see the improvement in his back to the basket game. Before he was just a dunking machine. Never really did anything else offensively. Basically you can go to him once in a while for a few points.

But I will repeat again... Anyone notice the changes to Blake Griffin's jumper shot? It looks really smooth this year

He's improved his foot work, has a little baby hook with the left or right hand.

Man to man defense seems to have improved as well, and I don't know of he's always done this: but he's been reading passing lanes very well...don't really see that from a big man...

Looks smooth, other than the huge hesitation before ever taking one, and having to load up before he actually jumps. Just don't see how he can develop any consistency doing that.

I know the guys on NBATV(which should be the only channel anybody watches when it comes to team and player breakdowns), especially Shaq, loves him as well. Even when he was in Minnesota, he was getting plenty of praise from people.

At the end of the day though, does it really matter to people if certain players don't get talked about as much as others do?

Not really but at the same time these guys deserve there credit.If a guy is playing really well why shouldn't he be in the same praise as others.

Why should only the world know Blake Griffin this or that.But you just had a PF/C in Greg Monroe have a triple-double.Yet instill Deandre Jordan has a 20/10 game and that's all I keep hearing about.

Not saying every guy that does well should get talked about 24/7 but lets at least acknowledge that there playing well.Nothing wrong with that at all.

Gaudy statlines just aren't as impressive when your team's 0-5.

You know who's been really good so far this season? Andrei Kirilenko.
