- Blake Griffin
Aside from some anger issues, Griffin has been a coach’s (but not equipment manager’s) dream. He can rebound, score and defend. Griffin has as more highlight reel dunks than anyone since coming into the league. His problem is what he does offensively when he’s not in dunking range. Although he’s improved, he is still not a good mid-range shooter. If Blake can put in the work, and improve this aspect of his game, there will be no stopping this man.
- Kevin Love
Since going to Cleveland, Kevin Love’s stats have dipped drastically. This does not indicate a drop-off in talent. This dip is due to his lack of usage, and being surrounded with talented players. In Minnesota, Love was the guy, he was expected to do it all. Now he does not have to. When needed, Love can still give the Cavs 30 and 10, but it is just fewer and farther between. Love is a perfect fit for Cleveland and will help them win a ring or two before all is said and done.
Power forward is currently one of the deepest positions in the league. Along with being deep, it is versatile. Every player at the position plays it differently. Some are shooters, some rebounders, and some post players. Nonetheless, every player on this list is on their way to greatness, and are just taking different paths.
