The mock draft scenario at ESPN has Blake Griffin as the #1 overall draft pick in the lottery. Surprise, surprise, they also have the Thunder as the best chance of getting him. They have a 25% chance. Wow. How great would it be to get a hometown boy as the #1 overall pick? I would definitely be excited. He is really physical inside.
I will admit that I watch the NBA, but I am by no means necessary an expert. What does everyone else think of this? Would Blake be the best choice for the Thunder? I know it would be awesome for popularity around here. It would be harder to get tickets, and TV rating would increase. But is he the best 1st pick option for our ailing team? I am interesting in what more knowledgeable people think.
