Los Angeles Clippers: 3 bold predictions for Blake Griffin in 2017-18
By Evan Massey
Blake Griffin will be a top-five MVP candidate
Even though Griffin has failed to become a legitimate MVP candidate thus far in his career, that will change this season. Now that he will have a bigger role, Griffin is ready to explode in 2017-18.
Finishing in the top five slots of the MVP voting isn’t easy, but that is where Griffin will be this season.
L.A. may not end up beating teams like the Golden State Warriors or Houston Rockets, but they are more than capable of contending with them. While the Clippers should end up being a tough team to beat, they will only go as far as Griffin can take them.
