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)

Griffin has a more established offensive game, but other than that AD blows him out the water

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 averaged 22.5 PPG in his first season, while Paul was still in New Orleans
