Blake Griffin is the playmaker Detroit desperately needs

Yeah, me neither.

I mean, it’s in-his-prime B-L-A-K-E freakin’ G-R-I-F-F-I-N. Tell me to calm down and I’ll tell you to calm up! We’re Detroit, we don’t do super-duper basketball stars - that is, until now.

Earlier this week we discussed how his newly found three-point stroke fits in with the Pistons. Now we’ll examine perhaps his most desired skill from Detroit’s perspective: play freakin’ making.

Griffin is averaging a career high 5.4 assists per game with an assist percentage of nearly 27 percent.

To put this is perspective, Tobias Harris averaged negative two assists per game while in a Pistons’ uniform and Avery Bradley pitched in with an assist percentage just shy of 11.
