He was far and away the best player in the NCAA last season, averaging 14.4 rebounds and 22.7 points per game on 65.4% (!) shooting - and by all indications he's also a great kid.

... summer league team. Josh seemingly had the inside track to being signed to a roster when this was all said and done.

Blake Griffin, now the starting power forward for the Los Angeles Clippers when he returns from injury, was a human highlight reel in his two years at Oklahoma. His athletic ability and basketball skill made him the clear choice for the #1 selection in this past year's NBA Draft.
