I think he is somewhere between 27 and 35 purely based on how he is playing right now and probably around the same range when you talk about production and potential relative to cost. I mean, even if you prefer Blake Griffin as a player, it would be hard to argue he is twice as good and that is what Blake's new extension will be paying him.
And as for the person who said he can't be this high on the list because he is the third best player on this team. Based on what? Based on NBA production over the past couple of seasons and this year, he is clearly the best player on this team right now. That is why I considered him the runaway favorite for team MVP this year.
