https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmfdINmLntkUdEtkb0JQVVBtMTFUSzhZTTRFZDBMMmc#gid=0 Saw this interesting chart. For those saying Aldridge has been playing more outside this year, Aldridge is still among the league leaders in points off postups as well as the # of postups.
This ^^^^^ Kareem, too. Like Aldridge, many considered him soft for his size, but the Sky Hook was unstoppable. BNM
Yep, 4th in the league in # of post ups and 3rd in points off post ups. It's funny that people used to say Aldridge's ceiling was a poor man's Chris Bosh. # Post Ups: LaMarcus Aldridge - 275 Chris Bosh - 93 Points off Post Ups: LaMarcus Aldridge - 253.00 Chris Bosh - 78.12 BNM
Bosh used to be pretty sick. Now he's a glorified role player in a system that doesn't make use of his talent. Bosh had four consecutive 22+ ppg seasons and then a 24 ppg season in his last year in Toronto. 3 seasons over 10 rpg and another over 9 rpg, which is worth mentioning because Aldridge has never cracked the 9 rpg barrier. Aldridge is close, and he doesn't play on teams as bad as Bosh's Toronto teams, but I wouldn't say he's lived up to Bosh in his hey day. Also, Bosh is become an impact defensive player on Miami, playing C for long stretches and anchoring the defense.
Seems griffin has a good power game. Still way far behind to get good shots, but the kid is all power.
