As people know Championships are built on defense. KD has the ability to be a much better defender then Griffin due to his length. Also KD is an amazing scoring machine who can create his own shot from anywhere. Griffin is an athletic freak who is going to be great for 5+ years but the moment his athleticism starts to falter so will he. KD game doesn't rely on athleticism as much and should be someone baring injury that has a career late into his thirties while he is still productive for that long.
The real bad thing about trying to choose a guy who has been in the league 4 years vs a rookie is that we can speculate a lot on Griffin but we wont' really know what he is going to become for the next couple of years. Is he going to stay an athletic freak and rely on it so much that he ignores everything else. Will he develop into an undersized good defender? A lot of if's with him. KD you pretty much know what your gonna get at the moment, only a few things the guy has left to work on. A nice post/near the basket game and getting his defense to be more consistent/lockdown type.
