NOTE: This is a new feature that is designed to be light while also revealing something about the personalities of the Kansas State Wildcats and the opposition’s star players.
This is essentially word association, and the subject – this week, it’s Griffin, the 6-foot-10 man-child whom many believe will be the No. 1 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft – has the option of explaining his rapid-fire response.
K-STATED: Kansas State?
BG: Consistent.
K-STATED: Manhattan?
BG: I’ve never been there. (Griffin is an Oklahoma City native)
K-STATED: Thunder?
BG: (Pause) Ummm… (Laughter, followed by another pause) Let’s say young.
K-STATED: Norman?
BG: Football.
K-STATED: Best player in the country?
BG: Stephen Curry. No disrespect to Tyler Hansbrough, but look at what Steph is doing without as many good players around. No knock on Davidson, but it’s pretty well known North Carolina has great players.
K-STATED: What about you?
BG: I’m not trying to worry about that. I’m not thinking about that at all.

Thunder????
Oklahoma City Thunder, which will likely have the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft, and taking the local kid would be a no-brainer – that Thunder.
Absolutely genius idea J-Mart……love what you do
Jmart=== Why is Stevedave’s name in purple. I want my name in purple. I have been here just as long. And just because i dont swang on your nutsack at bball games doesnt mean I dont love you man. I thought you were my homeslice. I mean, this is the best Kstate unpaid, non=school affiliated site in Kansas.
BTW… OJ or Ray Lewis?
Well, thanks to SimpsonSampson I’ve once again taken over one of J-Mart’s blog entries without even showing up to read it or post a comment. Not suprised I guess.
BG is a phenomenal player, but I don’t think he’s as NBA ready as some of the guys last year like Rose, Beasley & Mayo. Seems that he may have a tough time adjusting w/o developing a better perimeter game. Haven’t seen a projected draft board, but I would be surprised if he’s being considered for #1. Could be wrong though as I really only started watching the NBA a few years ago with much interest. BG is definitely a fun player to watch. We’ve been fortunate to have guys like Durant, Beasley & Griffin in the Big 12 the past few years.
SimpSamp, stevedave supplied a Web site in his registration. You didn’t. No one is swinging from anything, dude. His name is purple to invite you to click on his Web site, which won’t be mentioned here. As for clcark2000, oh, I think Blake is pretty NBA-ready, man. Yes, he’s being considered for the No. 1 pick. Right now, it’s between he and Spain’s Ricky Rubio.
