So he scored 35 points on 63% and suddenly he's not a natural scorer? Seriously, what is wrong with you? WE SHOULD BAN YOU.
He should have scored 45 like Harden. He doeant have a feel for scoring. He's too passive. Natural scorers arent passive :ufdup:

Blake Griffin is a scorer. Now. I wouldn't consider him a natural scorer because he didn't come in the league with a complete scoring skillset. He's added stuff every year. He wasn't a big time scorer in college and in 1 HS game I saw him play (going against Rose and Eric Gordon) he didn't show ANY flashes of what he is now and he didn't even seem freakishly athletic. Dudes like Melo, Pierce, KD, and Kobe to name a few came in with the complete repetoire. But they still got better with experience and gaining strength.
An example of a player with a scorers mentality IMO is JR Smith. Is he always think shot? Yes. Is he aggressive? Yes. But a natural scorer should get you 20 in his sleep. JR's shot is too streaky and his handles are too weak to get wherever he wants to go consistently to guarantee at least 20 in the box score every night.
