1. Blake Griffin

Although he’s been hit with injuries the last few seasons, Blake Griffin still remains one of the elite power forwards in the game today. We all know about his scoring, rebounding, and high-flying ability, but Griffin’s handles are perhaps the most intriguing thing about his game.

Although he’s 6-foot-10, he handles the rock like he’s a guard at times. Griffin can absolutely take over games at times, as evident by his career averages of 21.5 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game. He has also been expanding his range, and slowly upping his 3-point shooting each season.

Griffin will surely be one of the most sought after free agents not only at his position, but amongst them all. After spending his first seven seasons with the Clippers, Griffin may be putting on a new jersey next season. He is still only 28-years old and in the thick of his prime. If Griffin can remain healthy like he was able to early on in his career, he can most likely put up the best season of his career thus far, next season.
