Watching the Sooners against Davidson.  Or more to the point, Blake Griffin v. Curry.  No one else is worth watching, but those guys are really lighting it up.  Curry looks like a PG ho can shoot lights out.  Maybe not a Steve Nash PG, but a PG for sure.

Has Curry added any meat to his bones.  Beisdes whether he can play the point in the NBA, other question on him is whether he can defend at the NBA level or just end up as a designated shooter type off the bench.  How is his D and does he have any sort of NBA body yet?

Still a stick, but quickness and smarts are more important than strength to guard the point. 

His handle and court vision looked good- of course someone was always open since he was doubled all game.  44 pts and 6 assists on a "off" shooting night.  Supposedly went to the Steve Nash PG camp last summer...

Blake unsurprisingly a man amongst boys with 25 and 21.

Griffin's going to be better than Beasley IMO.  I loved him last year.

The commentator compared Griffin to Amare- which I feel is off base.

I was trying to find a star to compare him to, and he sort of reminds me of Sir Charles (not in his fat college or late years, but in his athletic peak.)  I doubt Griffin will have that type of impact, but I do see him as a physical coast to coast force like Brakley was in his prime.

From what I have seen of Beasly in college and the pros, one name comes to mind - Glenn Robinson.

Griffin has much better footwork than Amare had.  Doesn't have the strength/hops though.

Griffin's more quick than explosive.  His spin moves in the post are insanely quick.
