Blake Griffin has the potential to be one of the league's best big men in a league where good big men are few and far between. I don't care if there's a log-jam. Jason Thompson or Spencer Hawes just aren't worth a player of Blake Griffin's caliber. Plus, Griffin can play C and Thompson can play the 4. Hawes isn't good enough to merit a starting position in this league anyways.
And Blake Griffin is?!?! He's done nothing in the NBA so far and college doesn't always translate to the NBA (See Michael Beasley). I can't believe you won't even give the guy a chance, i mean he is freaking 20 years old. I'll give you a list of good starting C's in their Sophomore years.

Chris Kaman 9.1 ppg 6.7 rpg
Nene' Hilario 11.8 ppg 6.5 rpg
Andrew Bynum 7.8 ppg 5.9 rpg
Jermain O'neal 4.5 ppg 3.4 rpg (12 and 10 in first starting year)
Al Horford 10.1 ppg 8.5 rpg
Tyson Chandler 9.2 ppg 6.9 rpg
Brad Miller 7.7 ppg 5.3 rpg (12 and 8 in first starting year)
Rasheed Wallace 15.1ppg 6.8 rpg
Andris biedrins 3.8 ppg 4.2 rpg (9 and 9 in first starting year)
Andrew Bogut 12.3 ppg 8.8 rpg
Marcus Camby 12.1 ppg 7.4 rpg
Spencer Hawes 10.1 ppg 6.5 rpg (will go up by end of season now that he is starting)

And that is just the C's. There are twice as many PF's who are like that as well.
No, but you're right thoe...those teams should have just given up on all those players... actually half of them did.
