DeJuan Blair in action...coming up

[Steve-O-Matic]

Just a heads up for those who have the CBS College Sports Network (DirecTV ch. 613).....the Pitt vs. Oklahoma State game from the 2009 NCAA Tournament is coming up in 30 mins. at 9pm (Texas time).

[LongtimeSpursFan]

Hmm....does Uverse have CBS College Sports Network?

Blair is great at getting position and knowing how to use his wide-body. His leaping ability and size/quickness factor allows him to play against much taller players. Under the basket he looks like Sir Charles.
Blair just got another 'and 1'. Man he is a monster under the basket.

[Spursmania]

Thanks:toast

[SouthTexasRancher]

Damn, that last rebound and put back by Blair. Thank you RC for grabbing him. And for the other NBA teams....you guys screwed up big time!

[ElNono]

Young was not halfway bad in that game. Who drafted him?

He'd fit in great as a Spur. Did you see that block by him with 3-4 minutes to go? It looked like his chest was above the rim. I think they said Young was high scorer with about 30 points.

Damn, I'm glad we at least got Blair! That kid is a Monster!

The Grizzlies.

[Mr. Body]

Young is going to be a nice player. Too bad Memphis grabbed him. I think either guy dropping back to back in the second round is a bit ridiculous.

Blair has his limitations, and will have to learn to pick up the pace on defense, but he'll be a great asset. As limited as an NBA athlete as he is, relatively, he has some nice skills other than as a rebounder. He's a good passer, has good court awareness, and quick hands on defense.

[ElNono]

Thanks for the info...

I laugh at the morons who still call him or think he's still overweight. :lmao

[Summers]

He looks really good. I wonder how much weight he's dropped.

Edited to say thanks to PS. :)

Nice.

[lennyalderette]

i just love the way blair does anything to get a rebound, he brings so much strength and much needed toughness to this spurs group. i woul have never guessed we would have so much depth this year,the men in black will finish last this year

Thanks.. he really is slimmed down and his arms almost reach down to his knees.. IIRC Blair is said to have almost the same wingspan as Timmy.

She's a Spurs fan!:hat

Draft Express had his body fat at only 12%

I'd bet money that over 80% of the people saying he was overweight had a higher body fat % than him.

[jesterbobman]

I don't know if this is the right place to put this, but does anyone know where I can find Video of Dejuan being drafted(The announcement of the pick). I watched the draft, but like many here was delerious that Blair had fallen, and missed on the whole us drafting him in about 2 seconds thing. If Someone could tell me where to find video of that announcement, I would appreciate it.

Really looking forward to seeing Slimmed Down-Muscled up DeJuan playing for us this season. I look forward to Seeing him eat up some of the crummy 4s in the league.

[Snaq O'Meal]

Thanks.. he really is slimmed down and his arms almost reach down to his knees.. IIRC Blair is said to have almost the same wingspan as Timmy.

I read that somewhere too, although I find that hard to believe. Timmy's taller than Blair, but his arms look proportionally longer too.

[antimvp]

Tim looks like he's lost some weight, working out a bit too......nice.

it sucks that the camera dudes have to decrease the lighting so much to hide all the tattoos....what a shame.

[raspsa]

I read that somewhere too, although I find that hard to believe. Timmy's taller than Blair, but his arms look proportionally longer too.

There was this picture of Chris Kaman and Elton Brand when they were teammates with their arms raised. Kama was more than half a head taller but they had the same reach. It would be cool to see a pic of Tim and De Juan in the same pose.

"I like ya, but Imma kill ya" with a smile on his face.


I love how the dude is an absolute stand-up guy, gives great interviews, is humble and wants to succeed in his role, everything you want from a player. But at the same time, we all know he's got the killer-instinct and the dude's gonna absolutely wreck the paint.

It's like Mario Ellie meets Dennis Rodman... I hope.
