DeJuan Blair done for the summer league

Jeff McDonald, @JMcDonald_SAEN

Blair won't play the rest of summer league, due to recovery from calf strain. "Pop shut it down," he says. #spurs

Not that he ever really started his summer league experience, that is. It's a shame, but at least the team is being careful with the injury.

Good, no need to take any chances.

As a side note, is this a confirmation that McDonald reads SpursTalk?

@JMcDonald_SAEN

Game over. No thanks to Clippers. Spurs win 77-62. Gee Mensah-Bonsu Gist finishes with 20.

which thread?

[Lukor]

So when are Blairs knees going to explode, this season or next?

[slick'81]

no need for him to risk anything just rest up 45

Hell yes...if he can add a midrange jumper the way Haslem did when he joined the Heat, Blair will be a beast next season.

2010 - add 15-18 ft. jumper from the baseline and wings, improve FT shooting and lateral quickness
2011 - add jumper from top of the key, take baseline jumper out to 20 ft., improve FT shooting
2012 - add baseline 3 pt shot
2013 - add top of key 3 pt shot

I hate McDonald. He is kind of pompous and a blatant poacher of ideas.

[ElNono]

Pop said during the SL interview that they were working on two things with DeJuan:
1) The 'Karl Malone' type of jumper from 10-15 ft.
2) Simplifying his post moves. No more of that 15-16 pump fakes and ass shaking when having his back to the basket.

If they can pull out 1) it would be huge for his game.

[Biggems]

Blair will never be able to develop a 3 point shot.

well that is more wishful thinking...just give me the improved FT shooting and a nice midrange jumper up to 18-20 ft from anywhere on the floor and I will be happy

DeJuan Blair done for the summer league

In other words, he won't play today.

[Muser]

lol 3 point shot, the guy couldn't even shoot FT's last season.

Gist is the new "second-coming" :lol
