Blake Griffin Declares for NBA Draft

Excerpt from NewsOK:

Oklahoma power forward Blake Griffin – the consensus and overwhelming national Player of the Year as a sophomore – confirmed as much Tuesday, announcing his intention to enter the NBA Draft.

No individual and few teams found a way to contain Griffin in a second season that saw him average 22.7 points and an NCAA-best 14.4 rebounds. He led the Sooners to a 30-6 record and a spot in the Elite Eight. And he turned the player of the year race into a futile chase for others, including reigning awards holder Tyler Hansbrough of North Carolina, running away with every major honor.

Now, as he stands similarly alone atop NBA mock drafts, it’s time to test his game at the next level.
