Blake Griffin's game continued to evolve during the 2018-19 season. His game has changed considerably since being traded from the Clippers to Detroit in January of 2018. Instead of doing his best work under the basket, Griffin has developed into an outside threat. He averaged a career-high 24.5 points per game in 2018-19.

While Griffin's scoring and rebounding (7.4) numbers have always been strong, his improvement in the assist department was arguably the most impressive aspect of his season.

Griffin posted a 26-point, 10-rebound, 10-assist effort in a win over Atlanta on Nov. 22. He then finished with a monster 32-point, 11-rebound, 12-assist effort in a loss to Minnesota on Jan. 22.
