Blake Griffin has been picking up hardware for the past few weeks (the Naismith, AP and CBS player of the year awards spring immediately to mind) and, considering that he announced his decision Tuesday to enter the NBA Draft, it's safe to say he's going to be getting a pretty substantial pay raise as well.

Griffin called choice a "tough decision," but the reality is grounded closer in what Oklahoma Jeff Capel meant when he called the decision a "no brainer."

The Oklahoma big man is a virtual lock for the No. 1 overall selection in the upcoming draft -- although there are some folks that currently disagree with that theory -- and stands to make millions and millions of dollars, regardless of who ends up winning the lottery.

Good decision for him to go pro. He will most likely be a great player in the nba. If he can develop a jump shot, he will probaly be a 4 or 5 time all star and rookie of the year.

I can't find what grade he is in but I assume he has atleast one more to go. I like it when college athletes spend the full 4 years in college. Unless they need to leave for financial or other reasons.

Coug he was a sophmore last year, but I think it was smart for him to go, if you're going to be the top pick to pretty much every team, you should leave. If you don't people will just look for stuff thats wrong with you and you fall in the draft next year: (i.e.Joakim Noah, Brady Quinn, and Matt Leinart) It was smart for him to go
