Nice find, whottt.

I like how he understands that rebounding is his bread and butter. If he turns out to be a Reggie Evans, that's good enough for me :tu

he'll be better than that. he's a lot stronger than reggie evans; i bet dejuan can hold his own in the post on both ends of the court, his stls/blks are pretty decent too

His worst case is Reggie Evans according to DX, and I fully agree with that..Reggie Evans rebounding has translated to the NBA, so that would be solid..the difference is that Blair was much, much better offensively than Evans has ever been, and he has a better attitude, so if he stays healthy, I expect much more..health is obviously the key here, or else he wouldn't have dropped so far..

Another article from DX has his worst-case as Leon Powe, which would be absolutely great too..
