No. 5 (B) - Blake Griffin

Derrick Rose may not be winning this years MVP award due to two lengthy injuries. However, there is a new, young crop of NBA studs that are prepared to gladly take that hardware from Rose. Blake Griffin is a man-child much like D-Rose. His numbers this year are gaudy to say the very least. His Clippers are in the heart of the playoff picture for the first time in years, and years, and years...21 points, 11 boards and three assists per game is enough to keep him the race. Don't underestimate his passing ability, he is the total package.
