A mid-range jump shot (which everyone is demanding Blake get) are only worth two points too.

Now tell me which you'd rather have a player take - a dunk or a jumper? :youngsabo:

if blake could shoot he could space the floor and defenders would have to guard his shot giving his triple threat legitimacy. he could give cp3 a pick and pop option instead of just the same pick and roll play that the defense can predict and adjust to

he could use less energy for that same two points that a dunk takes making him more physically efficient overall as a player on both sides of the floor. his career as an elite player would last longer.

he would score more. the option to shoot is inherently always more available to you than the option to drive and dunk every play.

Or he'll just turn into a Vince Carter type who decides one day that he doesn't even want to dunk any more. I'd rather have an overaggressive Griffin trying to get to the rim every time than he turn into the current version of Amare. Besides, you guys never want to give players time to develop anyway. Griffin hasn't even started his third season in the league, and he's already supposed to be the total package? Dude must be the most incredible player ever, since he's a 20-and-10 guy who apparently has no skillset.
