You've obviously have never seen Blake Griffin play if you think that. He literally couldn't make a shot outside of the paint his rookie year.

Griffin PER by year:

2010-11: 21.93
2011-12: 23.5
2012-13: 22.44

2012-13: 18.0/8.3/3.7
2013-14: 21.5/11/3.0

He shot a career high FG% his second season, back when he apparently couldn't shoot from outside the lane and everyone knew it, yet somehow, since he has learned how to shoot (still absolutely a prayer) and diversified his game, his FG% has gone down. His usage rate was highest in (you guessed it) his rookie year.

I mean, where has he gotten better? His statistics that have improved haven't improved enough to show any real significance.

Here's a graph I just created that charts Blake Griffin's overall growth as a player from his rookie season to present.
