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.
Now here are what really separates them:
1. Chris Paul, enough said.
2. Experience
Based on these criteria and disregarding injuries, AD is the better player. IMO
eta. I didn't include age because it wasn't part of the question. (BG-24/AD/20)

Davis has a lot more going for him, but this board general dislike of Griffin makes him underrated on here
Dude's a stud. He's probably the best face up, drive the lane, "above the rim" PF in the league. He's a very good rebounder and has improved his defense, FT, and shooting range this year.
But Davis can do everything Griffin can do, and a lot more. He just brings more to the table, and is younger and has a better attitude and is a better for the "team" concept.

AD who isn't 'developed' as a scorer averages 20.2ppg
BG who is a better 'offensive player' averages 22.6ppg, but shoots 1.4 more shots than AD and gets 1.5 more ft tries per game than AD.
Both hit about the same % of shots (52.2 vs. 52.4)
Both get the same amount of rebounds (10.3 vs. 10.0)
Griffin gets more assists (3.5 to 2.9 TO) than AD (1.3 to 1.8 TO)
AD combines for 4.5 steals/blocks
BG combines for 1.8 steals/blocks
going with AD.

-Handle the ball
-shoot
-block/defense
-not be a pussy
