The Clippers never wavered on their decision to select Blake Griffin after bucking the odds to win the lottery Draft and gain derby last month and get the first pick. Now all the consensus collegiate player of the year has to do is play like top pick in the Draft and jump start the lottery regulars. Blake Griffin joins a team with a logjam in the frontcourt, but the Clippers will make room. The Los Angeles Clippers likely won't be challenging their cross-town neighbors right away, but Blake Griffin is a start. The 6-foot-10 All-American forward, follows Derrick Rose (Chicago) as the latest No. 1 pick in the 44-year history of the Draft. Los Angeles Clippers would be quite content with Griffin Blake following in Rose's footsteps as the rookie of the year . Other notable top selections in recent years include LeBron (2003), last season's defensive player of the year (Dwight Howard) and perennial All-Star Yao Ming (2002).
Blake said that "I am. I'm not worried about anything that's happened in the past," who averaged 22.7 points and 14.4 rebounds during his second and last season at OU. "I wasn't a part of that. A lot of the guys that are there now weren't a part of it. We're only looking forward to the future."
