1. dwight howard at 19 years, 342 days.

2/3? dejuan blair 20 years, 10 months.

4. chris bosh at 21 years, 1 day. (3/25/05)

thanks. if i did my math right, joe smith and shaq reached it before dejuan blair's age.

1. howard
2. joe smith
3. shaq
4. dejuan blair
5. chris bosh.

not bad.

[024]

also, had blair not fouled out and scored two more points, he would have been the second youngest to score 30 points and notch 20 rebounds - only behind shaq.

Not bad company at all.

If the refs didn't fuck him over we could've been talking about younger to reach 30 - 20, that's how beasty he was

[pjjrfan]

The refs took it from him, just like Sean said, but the refs have handcuffed this kid all year long. I'm surprised they didn't saddle him with early foul trouble. But I'm glad he got a chance to show off his skills in the paint. He totally physically dominated the Thunder's bigs all game long.

[pawe]

Yep, bullshit call when the thunder player jumped into him, Could've gotten 30/21.

[BOHOLANO#21]

just curious why they listed the age as 19-342, i thought there's only 365 days in a year?:bang

[td_tp_manu]

Rank is higher using 20 PTS + 10 ORB

[FkLA]

sad thing is, he might get overshadowed on the highlights and stuff by Al Jefferson simply because he's the more well known player...he has 22 points and 26 rebounds so far with the Twolves and Rockets about to go into triple overtime.

Or 30 and 23 since there was still about 3 mins left

LMFAO at your sig... good on you for manning up but :lol

:wtf

[outmap]

How about 28 Points and 10 Off Boards?

[callo1]

Okay, I normally think the FSN post game leaves much to be desired, but Blair Force One....I kind of like it. Afterall, Blair is a force and he should have gone in the first round.

[UnWantedTheory]

Ello' Beastie

[ace3g]

they said on ESPN it was the first time since Feb 24, 1978 that 4 players had 20 + rebounds on the same night

[CubanSucks]

So what. I mean it was a great game but damn

[mosdef17]

Has a 2nd round pick ever had a 20-20 in his rookie season? I'm not sure how to go about checking...? I would imagine there would be very few in history though.

[Dingle Barry]

So it is historic.

Sano, it means 19 years and 342 days old or 19 years, 11 months and 12 days old...:wakeup

i don't get this kind of "historical" stats meaning. first, the ranking of youngest player recording a 20-20 by a rookie. OK why not.

then 20-10 OR by a rookie to see if he could be higher. then a 20-20 by a 2nd round pick to see if he could be the first one. what's next: the first 2nd rounder to record a 20 pts-10 OR named Dejuan ?

The kid is great and a an amazing game. That's enough for me.

At 6'7", Grizzly is shortest on that list!!! That makes his accomplishment that more special! :toast :toast :toast

[I. Hustle]

Has there ever been a rookie from Pitt with the initials DB who has had a 20/20 game?
I will wait for someone to research and let me know.

[CubanSucks]

When's the last time a rookie had at least 24 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 blocks, and 2 steals in a game? Why don't we find that out?

Pop's comments last night reminded me of his remarks about Blair during the pre-season. From an October McDonald article:



Blair as Tim Duncan

You get a new rookie, the tendency is to want to coach him up right away. You look at all he can't do, and you want to start making corrections and fiddling with his game.

When it comes to first-year forward DeJuan Blair, the Spurs coaching staff is fighting that temptation for now.

They aren't remaking his shooting form. They aren't in his ear constantly about playing defense. They aren't trying to teach him post moves he doesn't have. They aren't trying to make him Mark Price at the foul line, or Dikembe Mutombo at the rim.

For the time being, they are just letting Blair be. In that, the Spurs are just doing what they once did with another prized frontcourt rookie.

"We didn't even try to coach Tim Duncan at the beginning," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "We watched him. Once we figured out what he does, then we tried to do what we could to make it better."

Popovich is taking the same "observe and report" approach with Blair this preseason.

"We're going to watch him play and see what his strengths and weaknesses are," Popovich said, "rather than put him in a box."

Popovich has to like what he's seen from Blair so far. Though a bit undersized, Blair is leading the Spurs in scoring (14.7 ppg) and rebounding (8.2) in just 18 minutes a night. He's also flashed a unique ability to turn a game in a hurry. Blair has 17 points and 10 rebounds against the Thunder, despite not entering the game until midway through the third quarter.

Blair still has a lot to learn and a long way to go. For now, however, the Spurs aren't going to overthink him.

I can't believe that Tim Duncan and Charles Barkley are on the same team.

to be fair, it seems like Blair was in better shape his rookie season, he had a monster dunk against the Mavs in the playoffs I remember, and seemed more fleet footed. And the Blair/Manu connection his rookie season seemed stronger. For some reason in the last season it seems he was even more of a "below the basket" player than he already is. The % of shots of his getting blocked from close range jumped from 10% to 15% according to 82games.com, and he attempted/made less dunks... granted, I thought he was playing well as a starter in the first half of the season when we were on a roll. He's got to be productive off the bench, though, because he might always be a bench player (on a playoff team), you never know.
