I mean the obvious opinion is no.

An unbiased observer would consider things like:
-Defending the rim. AD is #1 in the league in blocks, Griffin is below average for his position.
-Griffin scores a touch more (22.6/20.2)
-Rebounding is nearly identical.
-Potential is very similar for both, considering ability and execution.
-Court awareness and hustle are similar.
-FG%/FT% are both similar.
-Overall defense leans heavily toward AD.


I would rather AD, but they play different positions right now. Why compare a PF to a Center?

AD defends better because his wingspan is more than 6 inches longer than Griffin's. They are tough to compare to each other because they play very different types of games.

Griffin is pretty underrated these days, but I'll take Davis over him with no hesitation.

Not really though. Outside of Lebron, they are arguably the 2 most athletic players in the game today.

Well they're both versatile PFs. I think its a fair comparison. Only difference is bulk.
