    Duncan has a career bpg of 2.2. Monroe hasn't even broke 1 bpg.

    What about him? Like him but he is a PF and wouldn't be on this list even if he was a true SF.

    Look beyond the stats, people. WATCH LMA play - he's uncoordinated and has no power. He's a poor dribbler. While he has gotten much better at rebounding, he's still not great at it. And while his passing has improved, he's still not a good passer. He has trouble catching the ball on the move, which is probably why he's never developed a good two-man game with anyone. Aside from the pick/pop, he doesn't play within the flow of the offense - you pass the ball to him and it sticks, stopping any sort of flow and movement on the court. People say that he's one of the best shooting big men in the league, but the percentages don't support this.
    Just watch him play and look at his body movements. Then compare that to all the players I listed above - they are all superior to LMA. They look like NBA PFs, whereas LMA looks like a rag doll.

    It wouldn't be a one for one trade in all likelihood.

    EDIT: Nevermind the batshit insane assumption that we could get Drummond for Hickson.

    There's a reason the Clippers didn't put Griffin on Aldridge

    Griffin can't guard him because Aldridge just backs him down to the bucket

    Says the fan that thought Aldridge was defending Griffin and Love; when Hickson was on him.

    Griffin IS a crap defender, but he's better in just about every other way - his post moves are coordinated and strong. He can pass, he can dribble, he can rebound. He can catch the ball on the move.

    And all you have to do is foul him and make him shoot free throws to take him out of the game
